With minimal light pollution and high elevation, Alice Springs offers some of the best, darkest night skies on Earth. You can witness the wonders of the incredible cosmos at Earth Sanctuary, an award-winning astronomy park run by Joe Falzon and his three sons.
Their engaging 90-minute Astro Tour is a perfect taster for budding stargazers, where you’ll marvel at the moon through powerful telescopes, learn to find your zodiac in the eclipse, hear celestial stories about the Milky Way, and maybe even catch a shooting star. Given Alice Springs is located in one of Australia’s darkest regions, you may never see so many stars again.
For the ultimate outback night out, Earth Sanctuary also serves up an award-winning dinner experience where you can tuck into a home-cooked gourmet barbecue as the sun dips below the majestic Eastern MacDonnell Ranges. Better yet? You can even stay until sunrise by booking one of their futuristic, intergalactic-style geodesic glamping domes.
