CSIRO Discovery is a brand-new exhibition which focuses on various environmental issues facing Australia, and the things Australian scientists are doing to help solve the problems. This is a fantastic display, particularly for children, as it teaches them about real issues in an entertaining way. The exhibits are interactive, and cover all sorts of science-related topics including bio-diversity, ecology, radioastronomy and food and nutrition. A cafe, hands-on children-friendly laboratories, and landscaped gardens are also part of the complex.
