Star Gazing and the Aurora Australis
Mansfield in Victoria is a great location for stargazing due to its minimal light pollution. The High Country's night sky is known for its vibrant display of stars, including the Milky Way, Arcturus, Orion, and the Southern Cross, particularly during spring. The best times to stargaze are during the colder months (Autumn, Winter, Spring) when the nights are longer.
