Outward Bound's National Base is located in Tharwa, which is on the edge of Namadgi National Park, just south of Canberra. As part of the Australian Alps, the exhilarating Brindabella and Tidbinbilla Ranges, with their variety of wildlife, clear mountain rivers, expansive forests and spectacular rock climbing sites, have proven an ideal location for our courses. This area includes large expanses of panoramic tracked and untracked wilderness and offers a fantastic range of activities including the Challenge Ropes Course; a massive freestanding ropes activity involving more than 30 elements that are up to 15 metres off the ground and is the largest of its kind in the Southern hemisphere .
Running a program around Tharwa also includes the use of the National Base facilities - established campsites and amenities for part of the program. Courses in this area can be especially flexible in both length and difficulty.
"...[Outward Bound Instructor] taught us a lot about humbleness, leadership by example, discipline (fairness and firmness) and listening and perception. These 7 days have given me tools to take into my teaching."
