In partnership with Celestron, local astronomer, environmentalist and Celestron ambassador Angus Burns hosted a star gazing evening with live projections of the moon, various talks, entertainment, food and fantastic prizes up for grabs.
A display of three telescopes donated by Celestron SA, which attendees could enter to win, was one of the highlights.
Everyone had a good time being reminded of the beauty that exists outside of our own planet.
