What star parties are there in Australia?

OzSky Safari hosts two week-long star party events in New South Wales, AU at two different sites.  There is a registration fee. Go to OzSky Safari to get more information.

There is also VicSouth, held in early November, in Nhill (Victoria) whilst the ASV (asv.org.au) hold 3 star parties throughout the year.

 

I can't say how good any of them are as I've never managed to attend any of them.

Another one that has been announced:

 

The Queensland Astrofest is currently scheduled to take place from Friday May 23rd to Sunday 1st June, 2025. The committee is waiting for final confirmation of the dates.

 

Important: Note the much earlier date for the Astrofest than the traditional July / August dates. This was done at the request of Astrofest long timers to see a different part of sky. The dates will give an opportunity to observe Leo / Virgo while the Milky Way will still be available later in the night.

 

The camp will take place at Lions Camp Duckadang, Linville, Queensland – situated 166 kilometres north-west (within 2 hours) of Brisbane

 

Details and updates to Queensland Astrofest will appear on Astrofest’s website, Facebook page and the corresponding thread on the IceInSpace forum.

Again, I can't vouch for this one as it's at the other end of the country from me.
