Southern Skies
South Australia's clean, clear skies and great open spaces provide some of the world's clearest viewing of the planets and stars. Visit the Outback and experience 360 degrees of spectacular night sky, including the famous Southern Cross that's seen only in the Southern Hemisphere. Kangaroo Island and the northern Flinders Ranges around Arkaroola offer superb viewing away from the light spillage of towns and cities. The clear night skies offer exceptional views of Southern Hemisphere's deep space objects.
Many South Australian stargazing tours offer the type of intergalactic experience that normally isn't available to anyone but astronomers and scientists. Equipped observatories are in various regions you'll be enthralled to see the heavens light up with the energy of worlds light years away.
