From the early 20th Century art and science flourished at Binna Burra. For many years the mountain attracted artists, scientists, nature lovers, educators and families who got their hands dirty, worked hard and enjoyed creative activities in this spectacular place. Maybe you or your grandparents were part of it?
This program works to bring the same and more of the exciting events back, for us and our children!
