Staffyluv Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Thanks for that tidbit about the snakes. I am looking for a lifestyle block and have been looking at areas around Bungendore/Wamboin/Sutton etc.. I might change that and head towards Murrumbateman way. We do get snakes - browns and red bellies - and people have lost dogs to them. So it's not zero risk, but I think it's lower risk than those Lake George areas. I have a friend out at Bywong who has a poodle that has been bitten 3 times by a tiger snake - saved every time, thankfully but last time he was a very sick boy.. I don't have a big issue with snakes (the kid has two pets here at the moment and one is a 7 foot diamond python, the other is about 3 feet long and some other sort of snake, can't remember what he is) - but the poisonous ones I can do without. If I can choose a rural place that seems to have less around, I will choose it over another place that seems to have more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akayla Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 We get snakes quite often in Canberra too but people don't tend to notice them as much. We used to see red bellies and Browns frequently were I worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perry's Mum Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 That is true, I saw a red bellied black crossing busy Sulwood Drive last Autumn = he was lucky he was not squashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garnali Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Have a friend travelling to USA soon and looking to rent out her property on northside of Canberra.. Dog friendly and may include some outside runs.. She is taking her show dogs with her.. Think rent is around $500 per week.. ( Yes Canberra is expensive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkabull Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 Lol, $500 per week is on the cheap end of rentals up here in Darwin! It looks like I might be bringing my horse with me so if possible we'd like to rent something that has room for him too, otherwise I'll have to find agistment for him. Does anyone have any idea on cost if agistment or even the availability of rentals that are a little bit rural with a few acres? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trifecta Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 There are certainly rentals available on acreage & hobby farms in the outlying areas to Canberra. Agistment & pets are usually by negotiation. You would be well advised to contact real estate agents as early as possible, the end of the year sees an influx of families on ADF postings. I have no idea of the cost of agistment, we take racehorses for spelling, but that is entirely different to the pleasure horse market :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miss2 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 have you looked on all homes? if you click on canberra and then down the bottom it shows you the list of all the surrounding places :) http://www.allhomes.com.au/ah/nsw/rent-residential/bywong/121488310 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
