STARS and Planets*
(no Moonlight = more stars)

The beautiful southern Milky Way. A sight that is slowly disappearing.....

*To know what Planets are visible, see our Moon and Planets dates.

• We do not take any bookings around a Full Moon - just too much moonlight to see constellations, stars etc.
• Get a group of 30 adults together and they can have a 2 course (Lunch or Dinner) meal at the local pub + a Day or Night Show all for $30 PP.  If they want to do both sessions and meals it will cost $60 PP.  Call 4164  6194 for more info.
• SCHOOLS:  The dates below are excellent for Yr 7 - 12 students.
