Our first normal public night of the year was 4 April. Despite some clouds, we had around 1000 people show up. Thanks to Axelle, Clinton, Kez, Jess M., and Jess R.

Our next nights are:
May 30
June 27
August 1
August 29
September 26

We had 14 school groups from all over Australia this month - Victoria, South Australia, Wester Australia, New South Wales, and Queensland which was great to see.

With school holidays, we had many visitors for private sessions at Mount Stromlo - with over 30 groups booked in for nights. Luckily the weather (mostly) coopearted!

Also with school holidays, we resumed our partnership with Thredbo Resort to run stargazing sessions on both weeks of the school holidays. It is a great way to extend our reach in an area with great dark skies!
