Blue Mountains Stargazing

Join our captivating stargazing tour in the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains’ dark skies away from the city lights.

This out-of-this-world experience, led by local astrophysicist Dimitri and our astronomers, starts with a sunset at Wentworth Falls lookout, accompanied by the sound of waterfalls. Highlights include naked-eye astronomy, navigation tips, laser-guided constellation storytelling, state-of-the-art telescope viewing of the Moon, planets, star clusters, nebulae and the Milky Way.

The meeting point has toilets, parking and is wheelchair-accessible. 

An indoor Astronomy Planetarium experience is offered in case of clouds.
