• Astronomy night Little Eeden Apiary

    April 29, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    It has been ages since Kai came away with us and we were so excited that she wanted to join us for this astronomy night with dinner under the stars. The event was organised by Astroturism WA at the Little Eeden Apiary. As there weren't any accomdation nearby, we decided to camp the night at the venue provided camping ground. Kai still gets so excited when she sees, cows, kangaroos and alpaca en route to Mooliabeenee. We were greeted by much wildlife after we had our tent and swag pitched. There were guinea fowl, turkeys with a mama turkey and baby, chickens, geese ducks and 2 alpacas.
    The introductions and presentation began when the cacophony of birds died down. Dinner was huge lovely roast with apple crumble for desert. The night ended with a peak through several telescopes at nebulae, galaxies and constellations. It was a really good night.
    The next day was equally as full (culinary wise) with breakfast at the Bindoon Bakehouse, then a walk around Swan Settlers Market and a cannoli and coffee break, then an exquisite lunch at Old Youngs, a quick visit to an op shop ( a must) , Tentworld to pick up last minute camping stuff, ending the day with ice cream from Pietro after a look at the Guildford Garden Centre.
    A wonderful time spent with Kai.
