Birrigai

Birrigai is 40 minutes from Canberra’s centre, adjacent to the beautiful Tidbinbilla Range and Namadgi National Park. Beneath Gibraltar Peak—with native fauna roaming amongst our buildings—we offer a wonderful glimpse of Australian wilderness from our front door.

Birrigai is a place of significance in the culture and heritage of the Ngunnawal nation.
