The 2013 Centenary of Canberra coincides with the ten year anniversary of the 2003 bushfires that devastated the Canberra community on 18 January 2003. Scope Mount Stromlo will host a Past, Present, Future exhibition commemorating the bravery displayed by the community during the bushfire event - and the consequent recovery of the National Capital.

The exhibition will engage the Canberra community and visitors to the region, with an interactive educational experience. The exhibition will highlight the heritage of the Mount Stromlo site, the recovery of the area and of its people, as well as current and future developments in the Stromlo and Weston Creek area.

Scope Mount Stromlo invites members of the community and organisations to contribute toward the exhibition with any items that may be suitable for inclusion in the exhibit, and anyone who would like to share their own personal story in regards to the 2003 bushfire event.
