Star Gazing<br />
in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
School hoilday special<br />
Winter provides the perfect crisp clear skies<br />
to find constellations, the milky way, and<br />
shooting stars.<br />
The darkness of the vast and remote hinterland,<br />
the lakes, and rural areas provide wide views<br />
that stretch to the horizon. Gazing up at the stars<br />
and connecting with the cosmos is a special<br />
experience for everyone.<br />
Take in the stunning night skies when exploring<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> these holidays or take advantage of the<br />
holiday special at the West Melton Observatory.<br />
Join us for an evening under the stars as you and<br />
your family discover the wonders of the Southern<br />
night sky with our skilled amateur astronomers.<br />
Tickets for our Kidsfest nights always<br />
sell out fast – book early to avoid<br />
disappointment!<br />
