Red Centre Sights

School of the Air Review

What do children who live hundreds of miles from the nearest school do for education? Find out at this informative visitor center, which harbors a working school within its walls. Uniquely Australian, discover how distance education has been delivered to the country's most remote parts since 1951; from telephone systems to interactive online classes which are all on display, it's come a long way.
