For millennia Aboriginal people have gazed to the heavens at night.

They’d look to the stars for navigation, to mark seasons and to explain the mysteries of the Dreamtime.

Now Astrotourism WA is seeking to collect and share these stories.

Astrotourism WA CEO and founder Carol Redford is recruiting Aboriginal people to help create an Aboriginal astro tourism trail to help people learn about the magic of night skies from Aboriginal elders and guides.

She dreams of a day when Aboriginal people will sit around campfires with guests, sharing ancient stories, and using modern-day technology to unveil the intricacies of the universe.
