OUR JOURNEY

---

Founded by Mark and Wendy in Coonabarabran’s Dark Sky Park. 

From humble but luxurious yurt style accommodation to a cutting-edge observatory at 675 metres, a passion for the cosmos created a unique Coonabarabran observatory experience . A Dark Sky Hill story emerged with state-of-the-art telescopes, delivering an unparalleled tale of science and discovery.

With the Celestron Origin RASA and an 11-inch refractor coupled with the Pegasus Smart Eye , they capture and share the universe’s grandeur, blending science with story and tales from Aboriginal astronomy like the Emu and the Hunter. 

A strong focus on sustainability, quality and not quantity makes a stay at Dark Sky Eco Retreat a unique and unforgettable experience.
