Reviews
"We had a stargazing birthday, everyone loved it however I would recommend it for 10+years. There was also no indoor area for our catering in the end, so I recommend bringing a folding table. The communication is a little vague but in the end we all did have a great time learning about our night sky."
"The kids really enjoyed this place and just realised they have BBQ facilities. I'm looking forward to having a BBQ durring a summer afternoon look over the mountains."
"Once a month there's an open night which presents visitors the fabulous experience of stargazing. Thanks to all of the volunteers who brought their telescopes and knowledge here to share with us."
"This was a fascinating place to explore, with both new observatories and older buildings around the site, all within walking distance from each other. Tours are available on certain days but not necessarily needed. At the top there's a breathtaking views, a few biking tracks too and lots of kangaroos in the area."
