  • Carbon Monoxide Kills NEVER put a BBQ in your Tent or Awning! Carbon monoxide fumes from BBQs are invisible, odourless, and lethal. Even if you think it’s safe, and the flames have died down, don’t do it. The smouldering coals may be warm, but they may kill you. Even with the tent doors open. Even just in the porch. Please don’t do it!

  • Ensure you park your vehicle 5 metres away from BBQs and fire pits to reduce the risk of fire spreading.
  • A fire bucket with sand can be found by the water tap in the tent paddock.
  • It is your responsibility to ensure your gas appliances are fit for purpose, safe and in good working order.
  • The use of generators is not permitted.
  • Electric pitches – If you have an electric pitch booked make sure any long leads or a lead on a drum is completely unraveled before you plug it into the hookup area. Leads which are left tightly rolled up will overheat and burnout the electric hookup and your lead and potentially causing a fire! There is a damage charge if electric points are damaged in this way.
