Shooting Star Soirée at SPRING BAY MILL

  • This event has passed.

The Geminid — one of the most prolific meteor showers in the solar system — is back on 14th December 2021.

With our big open spaces and minimal light pollution, Spring Bay Mill is the perfect place to see them light up the sky.

Talks with Richard Grudzien from the Astronomical Society of Tasmania and starry-sky poetry from Pradyumna Kummamuru.

A two-course dinner in our award-winning Banksia Room, followed by late-night snacks and drinks served under the (shooting) stars. We’ll have scientists on hand helping guests follow (up to 120!) meteors as they shower through space.

The biggest event on the Astro-tourism calendar.

 

Tuesday 14th-15th December

7:30pm-2:30am

General Admission $20

Two-Course dinner +$50

The Tasmanian tourism industry acknowledges the Tasmanian Aboriginal people and their enduring custodianship of lutruwita / Tasmania. We honour 40,000 years of uninterrupted care, protection and belonging to these islands, before the invasion and colonisation of European settlement. As a tourism industry that welcomes visitors to these lands, we acknowledge our responsibility to represent to our visitors Tasmania's deep and complex history, fully, respectfully and truthfully. We acknowledge the Aboriginal people who continue to care for this country today. We pay our respects to their elders, past and present. We honour their stories, songs, art, and culture, and their aspirations for the future of their people and these lands. We respectfully ask that tourism be a part of that future.
