In the heart of spectacular wild flower country, you’ll find the wonderful Astrotourism Town of Morawa where the stars shine brightly, and the Milky Way will have you under its spell.

Morawa has an array of wonderful places where you’re welcome to stargaze or bring telescopes and cameras to see some of the most awe-inspiring night skies on Earth.

Before the stars come out, it’s fascinating to explore the town’s history including the Monsignour Hawes Holy Cross Catholic Church where you can enter the adjacent and very tiny 1933 Hermitage where the builder, Dean Hawes lived.

Afterwards, take a daytime bush walk at Bilya Rock or Koolanooka Springs and decide which location you’d like to return to in the evening to watch the stars come out to play!
