Breakfast Walk at Siding Spring Observatory

New South Wales, New South Wales

Entering into Siding Spring before the general public, this walking tour shows off the features that make the crooked mountains of the Warrumubgle ranges.

Siding Spring Observatory is superbly placed to see this remarkable range of volcanic natural features in sharp contrast with the modern telescope domes that dot the ridgetop of this mountain.

As you walk up to the highest point of this ridge, your guide will explain the history of the site, point out some remarkable telescopes, explain the science that has taken place within the dome walls and give you lots of time to take photos of the Warrumbungle National Dark Sky Park.

At the end of the tour, you’ll enjoy morning coffee with some of the most breathtaking views of the region.

Your 120-minute walking tour includes:
· Bacon and Egg Roll or equivelent
· Stories of the many discoveries made on the mountain top
· Experienced guides
· Exclusive access to the highest point of Siding Spring Observatory
