Flick the TV off, fill your flasks and wrap up warm for a night time adventure to view the best star gazing spots in Brisbane and beyond.
Why waste a weeknight sitting on the couch when you could be spotting shooting stars and watching the galaxy twinkle.
Be sure to download a stargazing app on your phone (or source a book or guide) and head to one of these superb spots and make the most of a starry night sky.
Take a thrilling journey into outer space at these five star gazing Brisbane spots.

If you’re after a truly unique stargazing experience, head to one of Bribie Island National Park's best camping sites, Poverty Creek.
Nestled in a secluded nook along Pumicestone Passage, this spot is completely isolated and only accessible by 4WD or boat. This is the perfect spot to channel your inner beach bum.
Poverty Creek campground provides an expansive and shady spot on the western side of the island, with stunning views across to the Glasshouse Mountains (you will require a permit for Poverty Creek). Facilities include toilets, cold showers, picnic tables and fire pits. It is a favourite in our region for national park camping!
Take in the universe and feel a world away at Dahmongah Lookout Park, Mount Mee. On a clear night you might even be lucky enough to view the milky way just like this!
It can get a tad chilly up on the hill at nighttime so we suggest packing a blanket so you stay warm and are able to watch the night sky in ultimate comfort.
