Canberra | Secret Stargazing Spot – Galaxy Guaranteed! 🌌

Canberra’s night sky feels close enough to touch – I almost cried when I saw the Milky Way right outside the city for the first time 😭✨ Here’s my personally tested Canberra Stargazing Guide – follow it and meet the galaxy! 🌍 Best Time: March to October 📅 Ideal Dates: 3 days before/after the new moon ⏰ Time: 8 PM – 2 AM ☁️ Weather: Clear skies, low humidity, good AQI – always check ahead! 🌙 Avoid bright moon nights for a clearer Milky Way. ⛰️ Must-Visit Spots: Mount Stromlo Observatory 15 mins from the city High altitude, unobstructed views – galaxy visible to the naked eye! Free parking, few people at night 🚗✨ Corin Dam Dreamy reflections of the Milky Way on the water 💧 Super quiet – perfect for lying back and counting stars 🌠 Historic Orroral Homestead A bit farther (~1 hr drive), but 360° panoramic sky! Full Milky Way arch visible – highly recommended! ⚠️ Tips: Bring a picnic mat & thermos (it gets FREEZING!) ❄️ Download a star app (e.g., Sky Guide, Star Walk) 📱 Dress warmly + windproof (Canberra nights are windy!) 🧥 Use red-light mode if bringing a flashlight 🔦 📸 All photos are real camera shots – the naked eye sees a softer but still magical view. 🎫 Stargazing Tour Info: Available nightly (weather permitting) Group pricing: 👥 4 people: $39/person 👥 3 people: $45/person 👥 2 people: $50/person 📸 Includes professional photos! ⏳ Duration: ~3 hours (timed with galactic visibility) 🎥 Bring your own camera? I’ll guide you through shooting – even crop-sensor cameras can capture the Milky Way! #MilkyWay #CanberraStargazing #StargazingAustralia #Astrophotography #VisitCanberra 🌟
