Built in the 1850s, Sydney’s copper-domed, Italianate observatory squats atop pretty Observatory Hill, overlooking the harbour. Inside is a collection of vintage apparatus, including Australia’s oldest working telescope (1874). Also on offer are audiovisual displays, including Aboriginal sky stories and a virtual reality 3D Theatre. Bookings are essential for night-time stargazing sessions (adult/child $18/12).

Book a night tour with an expert and use their telescopes to scan the southern skies.

Fabulous walk through the historic The Rocks area and viewing point from the Observatory over and under the harbour bridge and over to the Opera House, great cafes, pubs and restaurants on the way
