European night sky stories are familiar to many people; however, the Aboriginal stories of the southern skies are less well known.
This fascinating 45-minute show teaches us a new way - the oldest way - of looking at the night sky.
Find out our First Nations cultures describe constellations that are fundamental to their daily lives.
Although different Australian Aboriginal groups have different astronomical traditions, there are some broad similarities. We include stories from across Australia and explain how they relate to natural occurrences, laws and traditions, behaviour, navigation, seasons, history, and spirituality. This show is linked to the Australian school syllabus.
The planetarium dome is equipped with a HEPA air purification system.
