Outback Sky Journeys
The Australian Outback is perhaps one of the best places to explore the galaxy of stars in the night sky. The low humidity and minimal unnatural light in the Red Centre allow you to view the stars and planets like you've never seen them before. You'll see the wide expanse of the outback sky ablaze with countless stars.
The Family Astro Tours takes place just after sunset and is designed to suit families. This tour provides a great introduction to astronomy. The tour is broken into three segments – the past, the present and the future.
Past: learn how ancient cultures used the night sky for mythology, orientation and to predict upcoming seasons. Present: an opportunity to explore the night sky with telescopes and binoculars. Our resident astronomer will point out different constellations, stars and planets. Future: the evening concludes as you sit back and relax, while your guide contemplates what may be around the corner for astronomy and humankind.
The Astro Tour will take you on a fact finding journey through the southern night sky, enhancing your knowledge on astronomy and its beginnings. Your resident astronomer will guide you through the evolution of the Universe.
Free for children 15 years and under when accompanied by a paying adult.
