The amazing dark skies of the National Parks provide wonderful night sky viewing opportunities for stars, planets and the moon all year. Stargazing has been a fascination for humankind ever since we first looked up and pondered the magic and movements of the night sky. Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences, and connects us to both the mysteries of the past and the present knowns and unknowns of the entire universe. Have the night sky enthral you with ancient legends and be the glittering  backdrop to your very own epic adventures.

What is difficult to capture in words is the experience that people gain from looking up at the sky on a clear night in a place that is free from light pollution - where the stars and the full magnificence of the Milky Way can be appreciated.
