Dinner with the Stars
Your evening is sorted at this combination graze and gaze event at Outback Astronomy. Dine outdoors under the big outback sky. After dinner, your sky guide explains the sparkling sky view. Bookings are essential as dinner bookings (not sky shows) close several days in advance. The event is limited to small groups.
Guests must select the main course in advance. A light dessert and a hot beverage also included in the ticket price.
All guests are supplied with an audio unit to hear the sky guide’s live narration. Buy ear phones from us or bring your own to plug into the audio system. All guests will have access to optical equipment. The equipment used on any evening is subject to conditions, time of year and discretion of staff.
In winter, dinner guests have heating during dinner and a reclined chair and a sleeping bag is supplied for the sky show. In summer, cover skin and plan to bring a coat. In between, plan to be cold and rug up. See FAQs for more information about what to wear.

No refunds if any moving clouds due to inclusion of dinner service. Once we have committed to proceed, if there is cloud, the sky show may involve telescope viewing only.

If rain is forecast or threatens, we will endeavour to make a decision on whether to proceed 48 hours before the start of the event. If we need to fully cancel this means your payment will be refunded. It may not always be possible to refund less than 48 hours before the start of the event. If we see reason to do so we attempt to liaise with guests about the weather three days prior to the event.
