UPDATE, March 7, 2022: Stargazing at South Bank has been cancelled due to Brisbane's floods.
On Saturday, March 12, the night sky beckons in South Brisbane — and, no we're not just talking about staring over the river at the city's twinkling lights. No, looking up at the Wheel of Brisbane doesn't count either, and nor does enjoying the glowing colours over at the Gallery of Modern Art.
Instead, as part of this year's World Science Festival Brisbane, stargazers will flock to South Bank's Riverside Green to spend the evening looking up. If you've ever wanted to peer into the heavens while standing in the middle of the city — and actually be able to see the stars shining in all their glory — this is your chance.
Don't have a telescope? Don't worry. A heap of the remote-viewing optical instruments will be set up for everyone to use as part of this free, fun, one-night-only event, with thanks to the Brisbane Astronomical Society. It all starts at 6pm, with the neck-craning running through until 9pm.
