Kaurna Night Skies Stories and Star Gazing for Families

This family event will be one to be remembered, listen to Kaurna night skies stories and learn how to search the skies with a telescope.

Each family will have a telescope to assemble and to discover and explore the night skies.

Aunty Elaine will talk about the traditional Kaurna night skies stories: Emu, seven sisters, Wiltu (Southern Cross) and Kaurna words for night skies.

Participants will have the opportunity to assemble telescopes and learn how components work and the alignment required to observe celestial objects using telescopes and learn about stars, constellations, planetary movement and seasonal changes.

Although our skilled staff will be on site, parent/carers are responsible for the supervision of their children during the session.
