The Warrumbungles and the night sky
Coonabarabran is the Astronomy Capital of Australia, and we love sharing it with you. We recommend the Breadknife and Grand High Tops walk in Warrumbungle National Park, and a visit to Siding Spring Observatory, Australia's premier optical astronomy site. The observatory and the national park are each about a 30 minute drive from the motel. If you would like to stay a little longer under the stars, take a look at our Stargazing Stay page.
