Kambri

Welcome to Kambri, a vibrant institution located in the heart of the Australian National University campus in Acton, Australia.

The name "Kambri" was graciously given to ANU by representatives of various Aboriginal corporations and clans, symbolizing the deep connection to the land.

Kambri is a unique cultural precinct that offers a diverse range of educational, physical, creative, and social experiences, all within a village-like setting.
