Queensland’s clear Outback skies are one of the most spectacular sites in the Southern Hemisphere to view the starry skies, and there’s no place better than the Cosmos Centre at Charleville.
Located 3km from the centre of town, the Cosmos Centre is full of fun and educational activities designed to help visitors learn more about the fascinating night skies. At night, the observatory’s entire roof is rolled back to reveal three powerful Meade telescopes. See the stars, planet, moon and distant constellations like you’ve never been them before. There’s also a café and a theatre which plays a short film “Journey to Infinity”, and seven interactive displays where you can learn about ancient astrology, cosmic events, the difference between an asteroid and a meteor and much more. Charleville is easily accessible from Brisbane by road, rail and air. www.cosmoscentre.com
