Since 1951, children living across 1.3 million square kilometres have attended school by radio — and today, by satellite. They attend lessons and connect with teachers and classmates online from across the remote Outback.

The Visitor Centre brings this remarkable story to life through personalised tours, featuring a short film, studio presentation and insights into remote education. Explore student artwork, historic documents, photographs, and memorabilia. Discover the innovation behind connecting students and teachers across vast distances. Hear stories of resilience, ingenuity and community, and experience the inspiring history of Australia’s world-first School of the Air. This unique experience will leave you inspired by what can be achieved across the Outback.
