Gate etiquette

It’s not hard is it?
I liken it to if you are in someone else’s home, you leave things as you find them
Or isn’t that common behaviour either.
People that do this stuff probably make the most noise about not being able to go into place that get locked up
For those that are not on FB

A disappointing post to have to make but here we are. PLEASE, if you are visiting us here at Mt Ive, remember that we are a working sheep station. While we are lucky enough to be able to allow access to a number of tracks throughout the property so our guests can get a really good look around, these tracks take you through our work area and at times you will pass through gates that are used to contain our stock. It is so very important that you please leave all gates as you find them - if they are open great, leave them that way, but if they are closed then it is imperative that you shut them (properly, the same way we have them latched) after yourself. If you are travelling in convoy we suggest the easiest way to ensure this rule is followed is by having the lead vehicle, the one who opens the gate, pull to the side and let the rest of the convoy pass through so the same person who opened the gate can then shut it afterwards.
Unfortunately we have had an incident this week where several gates have been left open resulting in stock that had been mustered ready for shearing now being loose in paddocks they shouldn't be. This will mean precious time for our station hands attempting to locate several hundred animals they had been lucky enough to locate once already and then further time and effort in trying to re-muster this stock back to the areas they should be in, all within a limited time frame because shearing must go ahead on the scheduled dates. This is obviously a situation we find very disappointing, and we appreciate the assistance of all our guests in helping ensure a similar incident does not occur again (i'm not sure our head stockman could take that, he doesn't have much hair left as it is ??)
