ACT Parks and Conservation has invited families with a taste for adventure and fun to sleep over in the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve for a night during the upcoming school holidays.
Director, Daniel Iglesias, said the sleep-overs would take place between 28 September and 13 October and take the form of a mock Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) where families would search for the predator who had taken one of the potoroos from the Eucalypt Forest.
“This is an exciting addition to our Wildfest itinerary that also includes the new ‘hi-tech wildlife’, an insight into the role of technology in working with animals using infra-red cameras, night vision scopes and radar koala tracking equipment,” Mr Iglesias said.
“Both programs are a completely new approach to immersive nature tourism activities.”
He said Wildfest was an opportunity for families to wake up in a wildlife sanctuary at the spectacular Wildfest Pop Up Wilderness Family Camp.
“The luxury glamping on offer is an alternative to families using our public camp grounds and is a new way to educate kids on the sanctuary, the staff, the animals and their habitat in a really engaging and entertaining manner,” Mr Iglesias said.
“The Wildfest line-up already includes an incredible array of ranger and wildlife activities, crafted in a unique and educational way so people can learn about Tidbinbilla and the vital work being carried out in protecting native species in the ACT.”
