Water Research Laboratory Open Day

The Water Research Laboratory (WRL) is opening its doors!

All are welcome! If you are interested in water, engineering, science or the environment, then come along!

The WRL Open Day is a fantastic opportunity for you to experience our unique, world-class research facility first hand. Tour our massive labs, meet our experts, and see engineering and science at work.

The WRL is one of the biggest scientific and engineering facilities in Australia, and our talented researchers solve all kinds of problems related to water and the environment.

About us:

• We don’t wear lab coats or use test tubes in our ‘laboratories’, instead we use machines to make cyclonic waves to test coastline structures.
• We build scale models of dams and harbours larger than your living room!
• When we go out into the field, we fly drones with infrared cameras or ride jet skis with echosounders

Come and check it out yourself!
