Opposite the Tidbinbilla national Park is the Tidbinbilla Space station. it's not that big but still worth a visit. it's got a beautiful playground, great views of satellite and very educational on space.

Very addictive frozen custard place and is hugely popular with the younger generation. You can choose from variety of favours and tasty treats. My favourite is the mixed berry, lychee and white chocolate flake with vanilla concrete but everyone has different tastes :-)
