Suggested Stay Itinerary

Suggested Stay Itinerary

A 2 night stay is busy and we strongly recommend staying 3 nights or more. This improves the likelihood of clear sky for the skywatching experience but allows guests some relaxation time and the opportunity to self explore the walking trails in the Warrumbungle mountains and Pilliga forest. We have put together 2, 3, 4 and 5 day itineraries to help you plan your holiday.

The Sculptor Galaxy as seen in our eyepiece that we image and share with guests. Despite being 15 million light years away we are able to see detail in the galaxy from our observatory and state of the art equipment.
