Potential Hazards
Please be aware that this is a country property and as such, there are many features
which are potential hazards. Children are very welcome to Bandusia (our own children live there) but you need to supervise your own children at all times. For example, there is a dam on the property which is unfenced. There are also the usual attractions and hazards of the Australian bush – such as snakes, kangaroos, spiders, koalas and we’ve heard rumours we have platypus in the creek!
