Aboriginal Astronomy Night
Highlights
The Gravity Discovery Centre and Observatory works in partnership with
Indigenous Tours to showcase cultural storytelling and Astronomy. Following
storytelling the Indigenous constellations will be identified during a laser
guided tour of the night sky, before moving onward to the observatory to gaze
at the stars. The Gravity Discovery Centre and Observatory hosts an Aboriginal
Storytelling and Astronomy night once a month.
Public night stargazing visits are held regardless of the weather. If viewing
through the scopes is not possible, due to inclement weather, a fun and
informative session will be held in the GDC Theatre and a cloudy night pass
will be issued (free return).
Additional information

the outdoor activities such as the tower climb and the solar system walk,
these need to be done before dark.
