Attended an astronomy session with my 10 year old son which started at 8pm and went until around 10.30pm. The introuductory presentation was informative and each of the astronomers were very knowledgable and pleased to answer any questions. It was amazing to see nebula, constellations and a detailed look at the Moon.

This lovely little park was an ideal picnic spot as we passed through Gingin. We parked on the main road & had our lunch in the shade then wandered through the park to admire the waterwheel & duck pond. A tranquil setting with Gingin brook gurgling through under the bridge. Nice clean toilets were located halfway through the park which is also home to the towns amphitheatre and some lovely Anzac sculptures.

Absolutely fascinating. The presenting astrologist was informative and entertaining. The tour of the night sky was excellent and the visuals through their massive telescopes were absolutely amazing. Highly recommend this place.
