1) Does it rain often?
Yes. Bellingen has one of the highest rainfall levels in Australia, which is reflected in its lush landscape and ever-flowing Never Never River. It also means we get lots of rainbows at the property. :)
2) Can we swim in your river?
Absolutely. However, please note that the river can be dangerous after rainfall and is suitable for strong swimmers only. We have our own private rocky beach, a rope swing, and floaties to play in the swimming hole. Swimming is at your own risk.
3) Is there wifi or phone reception?
Yes we have wifi. Phone reception is limited. Telstra phone reception is good up at the main homestead, with limited connection with other providers.
4) Are there dangerous animals?
There are occasional nonvenomous snakes on the property, diamond pythons and green tree snakes, they are relatively harmless to humans. There are rare sightings of red belly black snakes down by the dam, so please avoid. We also have ticks in spring and summer, so please avoid walking through long grass.
