About this experience

We run astronomy nights from the Milyering Discovery Centre in the heart of Cape Range National Park, where southern skies shine above pristine coastal landscapes to the west and the rugged limestone hills of the range to the east.
Meet at the Discovery Centre for a 90‑minute guided journey beneath one of the darkest skies in Australia. Enjoy a laser‑guided sky tour and use premium telescopes to reveal planets, star clusters, and constellations, while weaving in ancient stories and cultural perspectives that connect people to the night above.
With minimal light pollution, comfortable seating, and a setting framed by both reef and range, these inclusive, family‑friendly evenings are designed for all ages and levels of interest.
We blend science, storytelling, and wonder, leaving you with a new perspective on the universe.
