"If people sat outside and looked
at the stars each night, I bet
they'd live a lot differently"
- Calvin and Hobbes

When is the last time you sat outdoors, looked up and admired the beauty of a sparkling night sky? Stargazing does wonders for easing our minds, rejuvenating our spirits, and finding a sense of peace and calmness amongst the chaos.

Beyond the instant comfort that it brings to us individually, Indigenous astronomy has played a key foundation for storytelling, song and dance that has been passed down through generations for tens of thousands of years. Long before the Babylonians, Greeks and the Renaissance came Indigenous astronomy from our First Australias - the oldest, continuous living culture in the world.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people developed a number of practical ways to read and live according to the stars.

Invited by Dimitri and Caroline, our special guest speakers Willie Stevens   Lynne Thomas, daughter of Uncle Guboo Ted Thomas  and Aunty Sharon Mason, hosted by Uncle Paul McLeod will share many of the  stories about practical applications such as navigation, weather forecasting and punctuating the seasons that continue to inform the local Yuin community.
