Astronomy Tours

Dodwell Observatory - Star Trails

Tour the Universe:

Arkaroola provides visitors with a rare opportunity to tour the universe from a location that provides some of the best viewing conditions in Australia.

Combining one of Australia's largest privately owned astronomical observatories with the new-age Star Chairs, and under the expert tuition of Arkaroola's guides, makes for the type of intergalactic experience that normally isn't available to anyone but astronomers and scientists.

Visitors, young and old alike, will be enthralled to see the heavens light up with the energy of worlds light years away from one of our three profesionally equipped observatories.
