CBC October Presentation - Story of the Namadgi National Park, 40 years and beyond

Wed 16th Oct 2024

Completed

Meeting

One of the jewels of the ACT is Namadgi National Park, which covers 46% of the Territory and includes majestic peaks frequently visited by the CBC members such as Mounts Gudgenby, Scabby, Kelly, Gingera, Namadgi and Bimberi Peak.

In October this year, the park will turn to 40 years. In celebration of this significant milestone, Greg Buckman, the CBC un-official historian will take us on a visual journey through the history of the park from its conception in the 1960s through this creation in 1984. There would be some interesting stories and historical photos you haven't ever seen.

No booking is required.

Family and friends are welcome. Tea and coffee will be offered after the presentation.
