Looking for More Astrophotography Hot Spots?
Stay longer and you’ll find a couple of other brilliant opportunities for astrophotography.
Yeerakine Rock Light Horseman Statue
A short 10km drive from the Kondinin town site is a special place for astrophotography. On top of Yeerakine Rock is a magnificent metal sculpture of the Light Horseman. The view to the south east will place the rising Milky Way right over the horse and you’ll be delighted with the results. Take care if it’s windy though. The Rock is naturally exposed to the wind, and you’ll need to take extra care of your equipment if it’s on a tripod.

Wagon at Karlgarin
In the centre of Karlgarin at Stafford Park, there’s a great set of old farming equipment including an old wooden wagon. It makes a great subject under the Milky Way.
