The meter box is located on the left hand side of the property at the front, near the decking area. All switches should be pointing upwards. Please contact Seaside Homes in both situations regardless.

If using the portacot, please bring all linen required.

Supplies

A modest supply of toilet paper will be supplied for your arrival, and you will need to supply your requirements for the rest of the stay.

Bedrooms

There are electric blankets under each mattress for you to enjoy. Please operate them as you desire and turn them off after each use. There are also spare blankets in each bedroom cupboard as well.

Blankets, doonas and pillows must be not taken out of the bedrooms and used on the floor or outside.

Food and drinks are not to be consumed in the bedrooms and burning implements (e.g. candles, mosquito coils) are not to be used inside or outside the house.

• Please keep the hand towels on the floor of each drawer if using them.
• Please do not try to take out the plugs in the sinks as this will damage the sinks.
• During your stay, please leave the sink cleaning to the cleaners (unless you use water). They need a particular sink cleaner (and you should be on holiday anyway!).

Heaters

There are 2 x oil column heaters in every bedroom. To use them, plug them in, choose your settings and press how many oil bars you would like on.

Ensure the heater is turned off when not in use and do not put any items close to or on top of the heaters.

Reverse Airconditioning

Feel free to also use the reverse cycle air conditioners in all rooms for heating or cooling as well. If you are leaving for more than 2 hours, then please do turn them off, however if you think you will be back within a 2 hour timeframe, it's actually best for energy consumption to leave them on!

BBQ

Feel free to use the BBQ during your stay and clean it afterwards using the BBQ cleaning supplies under the kitchen sink.

There is a spare gas bottle kept right next to the BBQ.

Spare BBQ gas bottles can also be replaced if required during daylight hours at Bunnings or services stations. Please retain receipt and forward to us for re-imbursement. Please let us know if you need to replace the BBQ gas bottle during your stay.

Gas

If you need to switch house gas bottles during your stay, the gas bottles are located down the right hand side of the house, in the car port. Simply flick the switch to the new bottle and turn the bottle on at the top of the bottle using the blue valve. Please notify us if the gas bottle was switched during your stay.

Outdoor Shower

Feel free to use the outdoor shower to wash off excess sand after your adventuring. It's located in the car port.

Firepit

The use of the firepit is NOT permitted;

i. at any time during the PROHIBITED Burning Period (approx. 23rd December to 14th March)
ii. on days where the fire danger rating is VERY HIGH or above.

The use of the fire pit is permitted during the RESTRICTED Burning Periods without a Permit, but cannot be lit before 6pm and must be fully extinguished by 11pm. A Permit is required outside of these times.

Make sure you double check the Burning Period dates, which are subject to change, and the Fire Danger Rating before lighting up. For the current Fire Danger Rating visit www.emergency.wa.gov.au or contact Shire Rangers on +618 9780 5695 if you have any fire related questions.

After finishing using the fire pit, and after all coals are COMPLETELY extinguished, use the scoop and metal bucket to get the coals out and put them in the spot behind the shed. Please tip the fire pit on it's side and place it next to the fire pit as you found it, so water doesn't collect.

Wildlife

Possums live in the trees near the house and may get onto the roof and make a noise. Do not harm them (protected species). Goannas, skinks, lizards and birds live in the garden. Do not harm or try to catch them – they won’t harm you though.

**Please keep outside doors shut as skinks and lizards have been known to sneak in!

Safety

The fire extinguisher is located in the laundry cupboard, and the fire blanket is under the kitchen sink.

Kangaroos

The Western Grey Kangaroo is widespread across the South West and is often spotted in areas away from main roads. Be especially cautious when driving at dusk and during the night.

These kangaroos enjoy grazing and resting on lawns at various properties. Observe them from a safe distance, but avoid getting too close.

Lizards, Skinks & Bobtails

Lizards are the most frequently spotted reptiles in the South West. If your backyard or garden has a warm area, you’re likely to have a skink or lizard living nearby! Skinks especially enjoy basking on rock walls. They are harmless but may be drawn to food scraps left on decks or in courtyards.

Possums

The Western Ringtail Possum (Pseudocheirus occidentalis) is a critically endangered tree-dwelling marsupial found exclusively in South Western Australia. This species is now classified as critically endangered. Western Ringtail Possums, along with other urban wildlife, are most active at night, and you might hear them moving across roofs and gutters.

Snakes

The South West is home to both venomous and nonvenomous snakes. In most cases, snakes will move away before you even notice them and will only attack if they feel threatened or startled.

When walking through bushland or long grass on warm days, be mindful of snakes. It is advisable to wear closed shoes, long socks, and long pants for protection.

Never approach or attempt to handle a snake.

Although snake bites are uncommon, they can happen. If someone is bitten:

• Firmly wrap the entire affected limb with a bandage or similar material, such as a scarf
• Call 000 immediately
• Limit movement as much as possible
• Keep the person calm and reassured

Wildflowers

With the world's most extensive variety of wildflowers right at your doorstep, there's no better reason to get outside and discover the stunning species found throughout the South West.

Please keep these important guidelines in mind:

• Pets are not permitted in National Parks
• Enjoy the beauty, but leave it untouched—picking wildflowers is illegal and may result in a $2,000 fine
• Respect private property and avoid trespassing
• Help protect canola crops by staying out of canola fields
  

Millipedes

Portuguese millipedes (Ommatoiulus moreleti) are part of a group of creatures known as Myriapoda (meaning "many-legged"), which also includes various native Australian millipedes and centipedes. Typically, millipedes live outdoors, feeding on leaf litter, decaying wood, damp fungi, and plant matter such as tender roots, moss, or green leaves on the ground.

These millipedes breed in autumn and early winter, which explains their noticeable activity and abundance following the first rains.

While millipedes play an important role in decomposing organic material in the soil, Portuguese millipedes become pests when their populations grow too large.

Portuguese millipedes are not harmful to humans or animals, but they are attracted to lights at night, which is why they may invade homes. They do not breed indoors and will die without access to plant matter.

To deter Portuguese millipedes, turn off external lights near buildings and minimise light escaping from indoors by using curtains or blinds.

Unfortunately, applying poison or retardants is not effective in reducing their numbers. The most efficient way to remove them is by vacuuming or sweeping them off carpets and floors.
