Excursion: 9:00 am, Saturday December 6, 2025
The Summer School’s tradition is to visit the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, so on the weekend we’ll treat ourselves to an excursion out of Canberra.
We will be meeting around 08:45 at the Science Road carpark behind building 38 for a 9:00am departure. We will return to campus by about 5pm.
More details will be posted soon.
Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve is in the mountains, around a 40-minute scenic drive out of Canberra. We can expect to come across kangaroos, wallabies, koalas and emus which run wild. We normally take a gentle walk on one of the marked walking trails.
Lunch will be provided on the excursion. This social event is free to participants.
