A Night Under the Stars

Overview

Like the idea of heading out bush to spend an evening kicking back beneath the night sky, stargazing, feasting and being entertained with live tunes? Well, that's all on the cards if you nab a ticket to A Night Under the Stars in Buchan this month.

This star-filled adventure will take place amongst the rolling hills of The Stockmans Camp farm stay on Saturday, April 22, designed to enchant astronomy enthusiasts of all ages. Kicking off from 5.30pm, guests will enjoy a two-course country-style dinner followed by a cosy gathering around a roaring campfire, sipping hot chocolate, toasting marshmallows and soaking up the sweet sounds of Gippsland local Olivia Lay.

But the night's main event will centre on what's happening above, as the Astronomical Society of Victoria guides punters on one of its sky tours, sharing the celestial secrets of the night sky and pointing out all of its major features. The team will even be bringing along a bunch of telescopes so you can get a next-level view of all those nebula, constellations and planets.

You can drop by just for the event, with adult tickets priced at $65. Or, if you want to make a getaway of it, The Stockmans Camp has a range of onsite camping and cabin options available, starting from $20.
