See the outback night sky in all its glory via a high-powered telescope and an expert guide. The 90-minute sessions start at 7.30pm, soon after sunset in summer. There's also a solar telescope here for daytime sun viewing. Both are dependent on cloudless skies, which are frequent out here. There are a range of prices and packages depending on your level of interest. Bring warm clothes if you're here for the evening session.
