What's on

Join a member of the Threatened Species Team for a walk along the Barayngu Murawung track for a chance to see these elusive animals.

Have you ever seen a Brush-tailed Rock-wallaby? Not in the wild in the ACT that’s for sure!
This species was last seen in the wild in the ACT in 1959 – at Tidbinbilla. Today, it can still be seen at Tidbinbilla – behind predator proof fences where they can live their lives in safety.

Join a member of the Threatened Species Team for a walk along the Barayngu Murawung track for a chance to see these elusive animals. You will find out all about this species, why it has disappeared, and what the ACT Government is doing at Tidbinbilla to get this species back into the wild where it belongs!

This is an 800m walk with a gentle slope.

The wander will be approximately 50 minutes. Remember to wear good walking shoes, bring drinking water, dress appropriately for the weather and be sun safe.

Suitable for all ages 10 yrs+

Have you heard about the Tidbinbilla Bush Detectives? The bush hunt encourages kids to discover wildlife, plants, and other amazing natural wonders.

Pack a snack, water and dress appropriately for the weather and be sun safe, then come join the fun!

Finding our favourite animals means looking for clues like tracks, nests, or scratch marks on trees. This fun activity teaches kids the sleuthing skills they need to spot species in the wild.

Pack a snack, water and dress appropriately for the weather and be sun safe, then come join the fun!

Come and learn about King Arthur, Lady Yellow and Princess Annii, Tidbinbilla’s resident ‘royal’ koalas! Koalas have featured and delighted visitors at Tidbinbilla for almost 100 years and continue to be a favourite animal attraction.

Join a member of Tidbinbilla’s Threatened Species Team who will share stories and insights into these iconic and fascinating species at our Koala display enclosure.

Pram and wheelchair friendly.

Experience a true taste of the Australian bush! Join us for freshly brewed Billy Tea and warm Damper, a traditional bush bread once cooked by swagmen and stockmen over an open campfire.

Kids can mix up their own damper and cook it over an open fire, and we’ll also brew up some billy tea to wash it down.

Don't forget to wear suitable walking shoes, bring drinking water, dress appropriately for the weather and be sun safe.

Going bush and knowing where you are venturing off track into the mountains surrounding Tidbinbilla valley is quite rewarding. Learn some basic map reading skills and how to prepare going bush. Ranger Jack will give you tips on how to thrive in the bush. A BBQ lunch to celebrate the end of the year’s program will be provided.
