Dear Dark Sky enthusiasts.....The University of Melbourne students are inviting Australian families to take part in the international Globe at Night citizen-science campaign on 3 October 2026. For this campaign, you will observe the Grus star constellation, also known as the Crane. Compare what you see in the night sky with the chart provided on the Globe at Night website.

Globe at Night is an international citizen-science campaign to raise public awareness of the impact of light pollution by inviting citizen-scientists to measure & submit their night sky brightness observations.

Warrumbungle National Park has once again put regional NSW on the world stage, recently being ranked the second-best stargazing destination on the planet in the 2026 Clean Sky Index. The Warrumbungles were recognised for their low light pollution, accessibility and internationally-recognised Dark Sky status.

As Australia's first Dark Sky Park, Warrumbungle National Park continues to attract visitors from across the country and around the world, providing unforgettable views of the Milky Way, planets and meteor showers, alongside the world-class Siding Spring Observatory.

This recognition is a testament to the region's unique natural assets. Congratulations to everyone involved in preserving this remarkable destination and showcasing the very best of regional NSW to the world.

Lorien Novalis Steiner school spent a week camped at our EEC. They hiked Gould Circuit for our Landscapes & Landforms program with Eben and Carl 🌳🥾⛺️⛰️

Under some of Australia’s darkest skies…✨ This past week, Class 7 journeyed to the breathtaking Warrumbungles for their annual Astronomy trip, where learning extends far beyond the classroom.

With -5°C mornings, star-filled nights, and days immersed in nature, students experienced the rhythms and vastness of the universe firsthand. Camping beneath the Milky Way, observing the night sky, and exploring one of Australia’s premier dark sky regions brings their astronomy studies to life in a way no textbook ever could. 🌙
