This is an area with minimal light pollution, where you can see the universe more clearly. Bathe in the glow of the Milky Way beneath our pristine winter skies! Our tours run within the darkest phases of the moon, on special astral occasions such as during meteor showers, and by private group arrangement. The tours will vary, incorporating sunset drinks and/or warming food before we set out along the softly glowing red-light pathway to tonight's secluded stargazing location in nature. Ask questions in a relaxed small-group atmosphere with our astronomers, and enjoy an experience that will open your eyes to the wonders of the cosmos.

Adventures Away - We often travel away with Lynn & Andrew's Mystic Mountain tours. The trips are so perfectly arranged to wonderful destinations. *April 25 Tour* Our tour saw flowing waterfalls & beautiful landscapes along Waterfall Way (NSW), on way to seeing the incredible Western Plain's animals, it was so good had to go again on their May 25 tour! Simply enjoyed being away, sharing happy moments & seeing the many sights. Looking forward to our next adventure & wonderful memories of tours with Mystic Mountain tours. Our trip to Fraser Island was very well organised so allowed us to have a carefree getaway, offering a great way to visit some terrific destinations. The Fraser Island adventure trip was fun, included Island tour and whale watching, accommodation, meals and transport from the Sunshine Coast. Our lovely host Lynn and reliable coach driver Andrew are always helpful and arranged all, so we could sit back, relax and enjoy. Thanks Lynn and Andrew
