Mt Stromlo Outreach Update

While the warm nights of May are over, and the cold nights of June have arrived, it means we have been lucky to get lots of clear nights!

At the very end of May, we had around 200 people at Parliament House for stargazing as part of National Reconciliation Week and we have another busy night planned tonight with another public night that looks clear!

We had a large amount of schools visiting, schools from every state and territory except Tasmania! It was great to connect with schools from all across Australia.

The clear nights meant we were also able to host over 30 private nights in June which has been great!

In July, we will run our first school holiday program with WildBark from 8 - 10 July. With 30 children booked to attend, we will hopefully engage and entertain them! It will should be the first of many! We will also continue our programs at Thredbo for school holidays as well!
