Charleville Cosmos Centre, Charleville

---

Charleville, in Outback Queensland, is the ideal place on the planet to observe the magnificent of the Sagittarius arm of the Milky Way. With a spectacularly clear night sky, unaffected by light and industrial pollution, visitors have the opportunity to star gaze as never before.

The Queensland Heritage Trails Network contributed $2.5M towards the $3M project to redevelop and expand the former Skywatch Centre into a dynamic attraction with popular visitor appeal.

By night visitors have the opportunity to enjoy a guided tour of the night sky with experienced guides and powerful Meade telescopes. By day an interactive display area contains two movie presentations and seven interactive displays, plus a sun filter to enable visitors to view the sun through the telescopes.

A sophisticated sun filter joins a range of equipment and powerful telescopes used for viewing the stars and our solar system.Places to see in Queensland
