1. Tuckshop Newsagency

   

   

   A small stand where staff and students can pick up the day's newspaper, whether to pass the time or keep up with appearances, it's always good to know what's going on in the wider world.

   The front of the school, hidden in the bush at the end of a long dirt road, the Gawler Building is a piece of modern architecture in the dry rural landscape.

6. Tarnagulla Centre

   

   

   Rebuilt to house a more modern hospital wing, the centre was largely funded by the Tarnagulla family, who took over the school in the early fifties. The building was later extended again to accommodate classrooms, and dormitories.

7. Whitlam Bilby Wing

   

   

   In August 2011, Tallygarunga opened up this new wing in order to hold the classes for the new junior sections of the school. All classes from Prep to Grade 5 are held in here, and outside there are a couple of playgrounds around the building, fenced off from the senior Tally students (not that it would stop some).

8. The Grounds

   

   

   The dry gardens of Tallygarunga, humming to the sound of native animals in the surrounding bushlands. Full of places to sit and relax, as well as a few out of sight areas where mischief is more than likely to occur.
