Astrotourism WA
Amazing stargazing experiences are waiting for you in Western Australia. Country towns are creating special places and protecting the dark night sky so you can enjoy stargazing at its best. Reducing light pollution helps protect the view of the stars and the cultural heritage of the night sky.

Choose your adventure under the stars! We’ve chosen the 6 Best Spots To Experience Astrotourism In Australia’s South West.

Plan your starry adventure with a stargazing trail or check out the list of Astrotourism Towns to visit. Discover new places where you can marvel at the brilliance of the beautiful Milky Way. Perhaps you’ll visit an Astrophotography Hot Spot or one of the specially chosen Observing Sites where local communities welcome you to stargaze with telescopes and binoculars.

Local Governments in regions of WA are working towards making sure our world-class dark night sky is preserved for decades to come so that visitors from around the world can be inspired by the beauty of the Milky Way Galaxy.
