Explore the stars

Visit Warrumbungle National Park and explore the stars through our events held in Australia’s first Dark Sky Park. In October 2025, avid stargazers enjoyed a range of StarFest events in and around Coonabarabran. One of those was the 2025 Starfest Bok lecture on 4 October with guest speaker and astronomer Christian Wolf.
