AUD $51.00

Adult

Duration: 

2h
Join our astronomers and elder Noel Nannup as they guide you through the cosmos at our world class stargazing facility.

The Gravity Discovery Centre and Observatory works in partnership with Indigenous Tours to showcase cultural storytelling and Astronomy. Following storytelling the Indigenous constellations will be identified during a laser guided tour of the night sky, before moving onward to the observatory to gaze at the stars. The Gravity Discovery Centre and Observatory hosts an Aboriginal Storytelling and Astronomy night once a month. 

Public night stargazing visits are held regardless of the weather. If viewing through the scopes is not possible, due to inclement weather, a fun and informative session will be held in the GDC Theatre and a cloudy night pass will be issued (free return).

The Gravity Café will be open until half an hour before your session starts and dinner bookings are preferred but not essential.

This ticket also includes entry to the Gravity Discovery Centre on the day of the tour. You are welcome to arrive as early as you like on the day and explore our indoor galleries. Please keep in mind that if you would like to do the outdoor activities such as the tower climb and the solar system walk, these need to be done before dark.

If you would like to order food from the café pre-orders are preferred. The café closes 30 minutes before the start of the tour to allow everyone enough time to finish their meal. If you have ordered food please let reception know you have arrived and are ready for your food at least 30 minutes before the start of the tour.
