A new educational space has opened in Emerald, offering Central Highlands communities and visitors an inclusive space to learn, support others and express creativity.
Central Highlands Science Centre underwent a transformation last year and has reopened as the Outback Exploratorium, moving from the Emerald Showgrounds to Emerald’s town centre.
The new space boasts a large retail space, known as the nest, which carries STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math’s) and educational toys, among other items, to help fund the new facility.
“The board’s very passionate about having a space in our community for local artists, so we’re also getting a range of gift wares that’s locally or Australian made,” operations manager Renee Firth said.

The Future is not Pretty The world is on a trajectory that will see global warming reach 2.9°C by 2100, far exceeding the 1.5° C increase the world signed on at the Paris Agreement. What does this mean? Research released this week by the Australian Academy of Science explores this scenario in detail and it is not a pretty sight. As the driest inhabited continent, Australia already has a highly variable climate of droughts and flooding rains. This is why of all developed nations, Australia has been identified as one of the most vulnerable to climate change. A scientific projection of Australia under 3℃ of global warming predicts catastrophic bushfires nearly every year, 50° C days in the major cities will become common, more frequent severe weather and flood events and no Great Barrier Reef.
