8 Museums in That You Shouldn't Miss

See the universe like never before through our powerful 2.3m tall mobile observatory! Explore beautiful star clusters and our neighbouring planets in exquisite detail, or the light from distant galaxies that travelled through space for millions of years before reaching your eyes. Imagine looking through the telescope at a bright star and discovering it is Saturn with its fascinating rings, or Jupiter, in such incredible detail that its coloured bands of storm clouds are clearly seen. Even the moon becomes an object of wonder, with its deep craters appearing close enough to touch! We offer regular Astronomy Experiences along Exmouth and the Margaret River region in Western Australia and unique All Night Dusk To Dawn Astronomy sessions and Astro-Glamping packages. We are passionate about sharing the beauty and wonder of our universe. You can find us selected locations in Western Australia, close to holiday destinations yet away from main city lights.
