Twinstar Guesthouse Observatory is part of a bed-and-breakfast accommodation
business. Once a month, interested local residents are invited to join the night sky tour to
explore the universe around us. These public viewing nights are provided free of charge as
community service and offer local residents the opportunity to enjoy our dark rural night sky.
For visitors' safety and comfort, only six places will be available at each session and
bookings are essential (This event is not suitable for children under 5 for safety reasons).
The starting time is usually 8.30 pm (QLD time), but may change.
