Our next outback trip will probably start on Thursday 19th April 2012

Viewing meteors

The night sky at Currawinya is far from any towns, April is officially within our dry season, and we will be there on moonless nights, so our view of stars and other heavenly bodies should be brilliant.

On  the nights of 21st and 22nd April we may be treated to the Lyrids Meteor Showers, which are said to sometimes produce about 20 meteors per hour, with dust trails that last several seconds.

Unfortunately they are most likely to appear after midnight, but we can sleep in hammocks under the stars on those nights (or if you prefer a tent you could venture out at that hour).

Our hammocks are very comfy
