Visit the Dryandra Woodland National Park for a weekend experience rich in Wilman Noongar Culture and stargaze under Narrogin’s stunning dark night skies.
Immerse yourself in Wilman Noongar culture with storytelling, didgeridoo music and see Aboriginal star patterns revealed overhead. Ancient Aboriginal astronomy entwines with modern astronomy as we take a close look at the Universe through large telescopes to see planets, galaxies and more.
