Eclipse Discovery Tour - Celebrating WA's dark night sky.

Thomas Hogg Oval

Narrogin offers some wonderful locations for stargazing and astrophotography. Being just under 200 kms south east of Perth, the nighttime view to the south and the magnificent Milky Way is free from artificial light pollution from the city. Why not visit the Dryandra Woodland, a sanctuary for threatened native animals such as the Bilby, Boodie and Woylie.<h2>E﻿vent Program</h2>F﻿ood at the event: Sausage sizzle available on the night, from 6pm.6﻿:30pm - Welcome6﻿:45pm - Eclipse Discovery Tour Presentation<ul><li>L﻿earn about the Total Solar Eclipse</li><li>D﻿iscover why Western Australia is a world-class dark sky tourism destination</li><li>F﻿ind out all about WA's amazing space science projects</li></ul>7﻿:30pm - Spectacular green laser pointer tour of Southern Hemisphere constellations7﻿:45pm - Viewing through telescopes.
