Where On Earth?

As a way of encouraging students to consider a career in Spatial Science, REROC in conjunction with The Compact, RivSig and the Riverina Institute of TAFE conducted a 1 day camp at Boorambola on 15 August 2011.

 

This was the second camp held and it was pleasing that 8 local students enrolled.
