Presented by the Astronomical Society of Victoria (ASV) and Manningham Council,
Join the ASV with a stargazing evening at Westerfolds Park, Templestowe. ASV astronomers will be on hand with telescopes and demonstrators.
Bring a torch covered with red cellophane (to keep your night vision), mosquito repellent and warm clothes. Telescopes will be set up on the grassy field near the Parks Victoria Office. Expect evening dew and a cold evening. Children will especially appreciate warm footwear and snacks!
Please reverse your car into the parking space to reduce headlight shine on exit.
This event may be cancelled due to cloud cover (more than 25 percent cover) or in the event of a total fire ban or bad weather. Please provide a relevant contact mobile phone number or email for an automated update on any event changes.

- Children must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times. Please arrive 10 minutes prior to start time.
