Unique experience not too far from Adelaide - Had a wonderful time with our tour guide Fraser about a month ago, very fun and informative experience without having to travel too far from Adelaide! Was not sure what to expect but it was most unique and amazing what you can see through the telescope. Will definitely be worth going again in the future. A great idea for friends, families or a date night.

Experienced and knowledgeable guide to the Southern Skies and local region - Fraser is a wealth of knowledge. This is the second Backyard Universe experience we have had (the other a geological walk from Wirrina to Myponga Beach) and highly recommend both. We are a family of two adults, a teenager and child. Everyone enjoyed both experiences. Fraser answered all questions with enthusiasm which made for a really enjoyable experience! We were all in awe of his telescope, an amazing instrument. To see so many planets and the moon up close was incredible.

Informative, fun and absolutely unmissable! - We had the most amazing time on our tour with Fraser! He is incredibly knowledgeable and explains everything with great detail but in a way that we can completely understand.
The stars were the most beautiful we've ever seen, his equipment was phenomenal and we've been pointing out stars we learnt about ever since.
Thankyou for this life changing experience!

Southern Skies with Great Tour Guide - My teenage son and I viewed the southern night skies with the Backyard Universe tour guide, Fraser giving a great insight to his passion and knowledge on the subject. We had a great night viewing Satellites, Galaxies, Planets and Stars. Looking at the planets of Jupiter, Saturn and Mars was the highlight for me. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Views of the Southern Night Skies - Seeing the stars, planets and other space oddities through telescopes and powerful binoculars coupled with a wealth of information from our guide, Fraser, gave us an incredible experience that will live with us for many years to come. As our original stargazing experience had to be cancelled due to excessive cloud, Fraser willingly re-scheduled for the following evening and provided an experience just for my wife and me. He has a range of interesting stories and facts and together with many opportunities to view stars, constellations and planets through his telescopes, our time passed all too quickly: In fact, Fraser, continued to keep us mesmerised until long after the scheduled end of the experience. The experience is very affordable and with Fraser's infectious love of his topic, I can highly recommend that you check out his website and take one of his stargazing tours. You won't be sorry!
