A couple of hours north of Perth, Lunar limestone formations dot the yellow-hued desert of Namburg National Park. Begin the adventure by wandering amid the pinnacles as the sun starts to set and stunning shadows stretch out across the desert floor. Once darkness begins to fall, you’ll head back to the coast and the fishing town of Cervantas for a typically western meal at a local tavern. The night sky then becomes the focus as you travel back into the desert for a spot of incredible stargazing.

There’s no light pollution here so you’ll have the best chance to see the constellations and planets in the Southern Hemisphere sky. Then it’s time to make the return trip to the city and reflect on the wonders of nature both early and celestial.
