Being in Canberra, the thing that excites me about home schooling is that we have the Ginninderra Wetlands literally a block away, we have the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve 20 mins away, we have the Tidbinbilla Space Tracking station 15 mins away, we have the National Museum, National Art Gallery, Questacon, the National Library, Old Parliament House, New Parliament House and the whole Parliament Triangle (including the National Mint and all sorts of institutions), not to mention the seaside and the Snowy's are less than 2 hours away!
