Here’s an interesting listing on Canberra Calendar:

Sounds like a good one for those trying to entertain inquisitive kids.

The cat did it said :

Do you have to pay the new park entry fee to get to this event?

Not yet. Fees re-instated/introduced/imposed from Sat01Aug09.

Probably justified- the post ’03 fires redevelopment is apparently pretty extensive & well thought, including heated rocks to encourage the wildlife to stay in view in weather like this (actually, like a cat on a (heated) mat).

As a student of archaeology and anthropology it is essential.

I quite agree, nothing like starting your education in your own backyard 🙂

As a student of arch/anth this would be very interesting…

There’s a cool rock at Tidbinbilla that has evidence of indigenous habitation – only a 100 or so meter walk from the road too…Have a look – good excuse to get bush too 🙂

I just assumed the story was about the latest raid on a massey
