This wonderful experience entwines modern astronomy with ancient Aboriginal astronomy. Star stories are shared and create a memorable night under the stars!

Night Sky Star Tour

  • Star Tracks Astro guides together with Aboriginal Storytellers, present both the modern and Aboriginal night sky. Our Indigenous guides share ancient knowledge, past down from their Elders, and reveal their spectacular star patterns and the stories behind them.

See the ‘Yonga’ or Kangaroo in the sky, the ‘Nyingarn’ or Echidna, plus the magnificent ‘Weitj’ or Emu, that stretches right through the band of the Milky Way. (when visible)

Learn about the Noongar six-season calendar and how the stars were used for navigation and hunting. The night sky is a colourful storyboard for heritage and culture showcasing their strong connection to the land, sea, and sky.

This magical night sky tour brings cultures together in a mesmerising and beautiful evening under our Australian stars.

Other Aboriginal Cultural Activities can include:

  • Aboriginal dance performance
  • Smoking Ceremony
  • Bush Tucker Tasting

Costs for Aboriginal Astronomy presentations and cultural activities will be determined on each individual event.  Please contact us for more details.
