About us
Yes, we are actually a research station (and have been here for 30 years now). We are more than just a research station . We are a unique, close-knit scientific community with unique community values and goals. So what do we do here?? Well, we have a continuous stream of students from all over the world doing research projects – mostly as part of their University course requirements. Their projects can cover everything from bat behaviour to pollination biology, to renewable energy and to weed control and much more.. it’s a big list. We have even done research into community attitudes to a number of issues – including to World Heritage attitudes and attitudes to renewable energy. How are we funded? At the moment primarily by student fees and by some limited grants such as “Everyone’s Environment Grant” and “Caring for Country” plus some assistance from Terrain. Other funds come from donations and Hugh and Talia's Age Pensions. Luckily we are independent – so we can choose where we want to go! (and unlike institutions, our costs of operating are very low. So much good science can be done with a note book and pencil and pretty simple equipment - even now.
