Wirraminna occupies four hectares of formerly unused ground around the old government dam, between the school and the recreation ground in Burrumbuttock, 30 km north of Albury, in southern NSW. From its beginning in 1995, it has developed into an environmental education centre that provides opportunities for discovery and learning about the natural environment, the ecology of the local woodlands and the beauty of native plants for our gardens.


Over 2000 primary school children visit Wirraminna annually from schools throughout the region. It also provides a popular outing for clubs and organisations in the district, and many locals and visitors to the region call in to explore the gardens and learn about our local environment. Extensive interpretative signage around the park tells the environment story.

Governor-General Visits Wirraminna

November 7, 2008

The 21st October 2008 will be remembered as one of the proudest days for our volunteer run facility when we were honoured with a visit by Her Excellency Ms Quentin Bryce AC Governor- General of the Commonwealth of Australia. The Governor-General inspected our new Environmental Education Centre and was taken on a tour to see first hand students engaging in cross-curriculum lessons. Ms Bryce described her visit as “inspiring” in a recent letter to the school principal following her visit.
