Outward Bound's Tharwa Campus is just 30 minutes from Parliament House in Canberra. With 142 beds nestled at the foot of Mt Tennant on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River, Tharwa Campus has a high-ropes course, climb and abseil tower, bushcraft workshops and direct access to the river and Namadgi National Park. Outward Bound is the heart and heritage of outdoor education in Australia. Through adventure-based outdoor programs, we facilitate self-discovery; enabling people to find ideals and communities to serve, purpose to strive for, and resilience (not to yield) in the face of life’s challenges.
