1.2 Musculo-skeletal injury sustained in Yoga: Like any Physical Activity, Yoga presents some unavoidable risk of injury particularly to people who have preexisting injuries, illness or medical disabilities. Ensure you listen to your body and only do what feels right for you.

1.3 Snake bite from accidentally stepping on a snake: Snakes inhabit the landscape in Australian bushland in warmer months. Participants should stay aware of snakes in the area. Do not approach them. They are scared of humans as you are of them.

1.4 Falling into river from getting too close to river bank edge: Participants should keep a safe distance at all times from the river bank.

1.5 Falling off the Style whilst crossing the fence: Participant to ensure 3 points of contact whilst climbing over the Style. 2 handrails on Style to ensure safety. Use style appropriately as fences have barbed wire which is sharp and clothing can catch on it.

1.6 Sunburn: Ensure you have adequate sun protection on. Wear a hat and apply sunscreen appropriately.

1.7 Magpie swooping: Be aware of magpies swooping. This can happen during nesting.

1.8 Livestock: This is a commercial working farm. Efforts have been made to keep cattle and sheep away from the walking path. In the event you see stock, look to the guide for guidance.
