Please note, Blue Gum is in a rural suburb surrounded by bush. This really is an escape to nature. You can expect to see a lot of local wildlife from kangaroos to birds to lizards. There is also the potential for snakes to be in this area. Please be very sensible around all wildlife, this is their home and we must not disturb them. Keep a wide berth and ensure children are supervised at all times. Do not feed wild animals and never leave windows or doors open after dusk.
