Observatory

I have just returned home from a Scout activity with my 6 year old son at Mount Burnett Observatory and I am absolutely appalled at the way the presenter dealt with the group and in particular how she spoke to my son. She was rude and lacked interpersonal skills. She has no ability to build rapport with the children and came across as a grumpy, miserable, disinterested old lady. My son is a fairly outspoken kid but always shows respect and is polite. He can also at times like to make a joke which is what he did tonight when he suggested to her that we just get started". She verbally attacked him

Beautiful spot for star sighting. Donna is fantastic as a star gazing-guide, oozing with passion for her job, and is eager to share with both the experienced and inexperienced alike.Great pictures of the moon that you can take with your own smartphone.Quiet little spot that is easy to access by car. Bring some warm clothes and a hat to stay cozy while relaxing with the stars. I would highly recommend bringing a flask of hot coffee or hot chocolate, as a cherry on top to this adventure for your eyes!

Awesome place to visit - fascinating!

Great place to observe the night sky with like minded people.

Was not expecting much but Andre was a great host and explained a lot about the gift. Looking through the telescope and getting a closeup of the moon and Saturn was a highlight.

A great fun experience. Donna and Peter were both very friendly and knowledgeable. Well worth the 10 minute drive from town.

Hidden gem! A great place to catch the sunrise over Uluru!

We had wanted to come to Mudgee Observatory but was quite sadden that all the tours had been booked out weeks ahead. (Make sure you book in early if you're planning a trip here). Thankfully, John was super nice and showed us around during the day. We even got to see some solar flares with the telescopes! Definitely a highlight of our trip. Do make sure you book ahead so you won't miss out!

Cool

Very educational, enjoyed looking through the many telescopes. Didn't keep the young ones interested however, young kids got bored very quickly. Facilities such as toilets were... to put it nicely... gross. Great to visit to learn about the stars and astronomy, but I highly recommend that you go to the toilet in town beforehand.
