70 Years Celebration at Tharwa

Celebrate 70 years of Outward Bound Australia

Families, friends, alumni, past participants, staff and colleagues are invited to spend a memorable weekend at Tharwa as we bring Outward Bound Australia’s 70th anniversary celebrations to a close. Reconnect with old friends, share stories from across seven decades of OBA and celebrate the completion of the new Communal Centre and kitchen at Tharwa Campus. Spend the weekend under the stars or stay in a cabin, enjoy activities around the property and dust off your climbing skills on the high ropes course.

Cabin accommodation and camping options are available.
