Thank you for considering Mugga-Mugga Education centre for your upcoming workshop, conference or event.

Mugga-Mugga was established in the early 1800’s as part of Duntroon Estate and captures part of the region’s early history. It was originally built for the head shepherd of the Estate and this simple cottage stands as a testament to the workers who made their lives on the pastoral properties of the limestone plains. Today Mugga-Mugga offers a stunning rural setting in the centre of Canberra and it is preserved as it was in the time of the Curley family who made it their home.

The Education Centre is a large, light filled and versatile room, with a large verandah around the building which offers not only spectacular views, but also an additional external space for your event.

Mugga-Mugga is located in the centre of Canberra and is a 15 minute drive to the city, and less than 10 minutes to Kingston. It is on Narrabundah Lane, which is off the Hindmarsh drive end of Mugga Lane. The entrance to Mugga-Mugga is a farm gate which is directly across the road from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA)
