Moo Ridge is a working beef cattle farm. There are very large cattle on the property that can be very unpredictable. Please do not enter the paddocks where cattle are located at any time.
THE FENCES SURROUNDING ALL PADDOCKS ARE ELECTRIC, SO PLEASE ENSURE THAT NO GUESTS, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN, TOUCH THE WIRE FENCING.
CHILDREN SHOULD BE SUPERVISED AT ALL TIMES.
Farm machinery and vehicles are also very dangerous and not for guests.
There are also wild animals in the country that need to be respected and kept at a safe distance. They can be very territorial, so please don’t take any unnecessary risks on your holiday. These animals can jump & climb fences and dig under fences. They cannot be 100% kept out of any of the property. Birds of prey can also pick up small things, so if you have small dog, please also keep a close eye.
Please ensure you wear appropriate clothing when walking around the property, as long thick pants, sox and boots will help if there are any snakes or spiders and on the uneven ground.
