The unique blend of living history and modern technology underlies the atmosphere of the Edith & Joy London Foundation at Kioloa, near Bawley Point on the NSW south coast. The Foundation was given in perpetuity, to The Australian National University in 1975 for the express purpose of conducting field teaching and research.

Through the foresight and generosity of Joy London, the Foundation has become the premier research field station on the South Coast. With a mild climate and unspoiled beach frontage, the Foundation provides an ideal break from normal campus and work environments and is easily accessible from Canberra, Sydney and Wollongong.
