Past Event
August 31st - September 5th N.E. Silo Art Tour (Back to Linga Longa) - Sue
What a great trip this was, so much fun. Our driver, Ken, looked after us so well, had a sense of humour and lots of information about the places we visited. The silo art was amazing, so too the murals in Benalla and other towns. The migrant museum, Depot (car collection), whiskey factory etc. etc. all very interesting to visit and learn about. The delicious morning teas, lunches and dinners -so much food I’m sure we would all have put weight on! Too much to write about here but go to the website for a breakdown of the trip.
Next Event
October 16st - (Thursday) Lucas Heights Discovery Centre - Margie
Get ‘Up and Atom’ with a science tour of one of Australia’s largest public research organisations.
With over 350 scientists and researchers, The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) is home to some of Australia’s most critical scientific infrastructure including the nation’s only research reactor, a suite of neutron beam instruments, particle accelerators, cyclotrons and the Australian Synchrotron. Our education officers will take us on an exciting journey into the world at the sub-atomic scale, explaining how through applying our knowledge of the basic building blocks of our universe, scientists are helping solve the big issues surrounding health, climate change and innovation for industry.
The tour is customised for our group with non-technical explanations and minimal walking. It’s a rare opportunity to go inside the domain of scientists and see them at work.
