Stargazing Events in WA’s Astrotourism Towns
What an incredible dark night sky we have in country Western Australia. Low levels of light pollution make it a world-class destination for visitors around the globe. On a clear and moonless night, the awe-inspiring Milky Way can be seen stretching from horizon to horizon. It’s a magical experience to see the beauty of the night sky and the Universe beyond.
Astrotourism Towns in WA hold events from time to time. These are generously supported by regional Local Government and Astrotourism WA who are working together to share and protect WA’s dark night sky.
