I think it is open every 2nd Sunday of the month at the moment - we were lucky as one of the hikers had a friend involved with the project and organised a 'private' tour.

But i'd recommend getting out there it's a lot of fun, especially if you can join a guided tour because a lot of what it is about is the future.

i used to live in canberra and would have loved to have checked this out, Canberra is such a stunning place! A lot of people hate Canberra because of all the roundabouts but, replace them with traffic lights and it would become horrible and harder to navigate around IMO. I love Canberra, the people are great and sights are amazing, I personally like the last of your shots! 8) ----Looks to have been taken not far from the Tuggeranong Parkway around Weston region am I correct??

I particularly like the eagle sculpture too. Is that accessible outside arboretum hours?
