Romantic Sunset Tours and Star Gazing

On dark moonless nights, Mother Nature blesses us with her boundless beauty.
She puts on a show that includes views of constellations, the Milky Way, other galaxies, planets, and occasional meteor showers.
There is nothing more tranquil and romantic than an outback sunset and evening under the night sky.

Lord Byron may have really been speaking about the outback when he penned:

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies,
And all that's best of dark and bright,
Meet in the aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven and gaudy day denies.

In the outback,  the night skies are prime viewing grounds for stargazing, lacking light and air pollution, fog and frost!
