Star Tracks Astro Events

Donna Vanzetti runs this one as a genuinely mobile operation — telescopes and guides travelling out to wherever the sky is darkest on a given night, from Perth's outer suburbs to remote stretches of Western Australia. Public community stargazing nights are scheduled through the year alongside private bookings for schools, camps and events, sessions built around the southern sky: planets, star clusters and the Milky Way core through purpose-brought telescopes. A standout offering is the Aboriginal astronomy program, where Indigenous presenters share sky stories from their own country — the Kangaroo, Echidna and Emu constellations — alongside the Noongar six-season calendar used to structure the Western Australian year, layered onto the telescope session, with smoking ceremonies and bush tucker available for groups wanting the fuller cultural evening. Format and length are built to the group, generally around two and a half hours, suited to ages five and up. Worth booking ahead for a public night.
