Events
Events in the CRR have seen growing numbers visiting us, and the 2022 year was very active with an event being scheduled for the last Sunday of the month.
New events were introduced – photography, biomimicry and snakes – over and above the immensely popular ones like scorpions and geology. Most of our bookings are from people that live outside of the CRR, and they love to come here and discover this little jewel that is on their doorstep.
