Amazing! One of the best things I've done in Broken Hill! Thanks for such a great experience.
Sophie, Sydney, 2016
This experience was absolutely amazing! The sky guide’s knowledge of the night sky was quite literally ‘out of this world’. The whole experience was so comfortable, from the chairs to the hot chocolate and the warm blankets! Thank you so much for a wonderful night!

Fantastic stellar experience. Can’t thank you enough for the sparkling opportunity to take a snap shot view of our universe!
Caitlin, Maitland, 2016
I had such a fantastic experience tonight. What a great introduction to astronomy ...incredibly knowledgeable in everything from constellations to history! Thanks ... for a really memorable Broken Hill experience!
Caitlin, Mildura, 2016
Such a fantastic experience! I didn’t realise there was so much to see and learn about the night sky until I saw it through binoculars. It’s something we take for granted every night! (we had) a very approachable and knowledgeable guide – (they) created a very safe learning environment for our group.
Justin, Sydney, 2016
What a wonderful night. The vastness of the starry night spread out above us as Linda informs and entertains, all wrapped up on cold nights in a sleeping bag, whilst being warmed by a thermos of hot chocolate.
Close up views of distant planets through a telescope, scanning the distant heavens with binoculars, and feeling the vastness of our universe make for a memorable experience.
Rebecca, Blue Mountains, 2018
Informative, interesting, beautiful! Thank you for your warm hospitality.
Trish, Sydney, 2018
Such a great experience. A wonderful tour of the sky and galaxies in all 4 dimensions - all explained in language I could understand. I learned so much and would love to come again. A very friendly and professional setup. Thank you!
Sarah, Sydney, 2018
The whole setup, with the sleeping bags, recliner chairs and hot chocolate under the stars, is like no other experience to add to an outback adventure. Highly recommend 🙂
