Geek out on science and Aboriginal culture

Take a walk through science and Aboriginal culture. The Gravity Discovery Centre is an adventure through various areas of science, such as astrophysics, astronomy, cosmology and biodiversity.

The centre offers night time viewing activities, but book well in advance, especially if you want the special Aboriginal Astronomy Night session.
