Springbrook Research Observatory

See our Galaxy, the Moon and some Planets This was a wonderful visit, as Andre took us out to the telescope and focused on the moon, then Saturn, and Jupiter. I had asked to see Saturn, so was given the first look. Everyone in our group had a chance to look through the telescope, and there was a stopladder for children. I recommend this visit for children over eight (or younger if they are interested in the Galaxy). This visit was part of a Scenic Tour which visited the Glow Worms and the Observatory. I recommend that you take a warm jacket and hat as Springbrook is much cooler than the coast.

Driving from the park, pay attention to the viewing platform, parking is very convenient, the scenery is good.

A local observation site, where various scenery and astronomical phenomena can be observed.
