Star Gazing the Dark Skies

​

The night sky above the Mid-Murray of South Australia is so dark it could become a protected reserve for stargazers around the world.

Far enough from the light pollution of Adelaide that on a clear, moonless night you can see 'into infinity', Its near total darkness. It's almost as dark as it can get, the darkness is 21.97 on a darkness scale of 0-22, where 22 is complete darkness. When it is that dark, you can see everything — Infinity, that's the best way of putting it,

"It's mind-boggling compared to what you see in the city, where you might be lucky to see the 2,000 or 3,000 brighter stars. In the Mid-Murray], you literally see the whole galaxy

  • Rock Art – The Ngaut Ngaut Aboriginal Reserve is home to a number of significant rock art sites. These sites, which were first noticed by Europeans almost a century ago, are solid remnants of the unique culture that once existed at the Ngaut Ngaut Aboriginal Reserve. There are a number of images carved into the limestone cliffs of Ngaut Ngaut, which are interpreted and explained by the local Aboriginal guides during tours. You will see images of the sun and of estuarine dolphins that swam in the Murray River before the addition of locks and other man-made blocks.
