Black Flats
Lift the lid on the ingenuity and hard work needed for distilling eucalyptus oil here in the Tidbinbilla valley.
Aboriginal people knew the therapeutic qualities of eucalyptus for centuries. Eastern Europeans made a commercial success of it in the mid-20th century. You can read their story on signage at the site.
Demonstrations are often part of the Heritage Festival each year at nearby Rock Valley Homestead.
