Staircase to the Moon
Experience the wonder of the Staircase to the Moon, a beautiful optical illusion of a stairway reaching to the moon.

Take a guided tour with a traditional owner, learn about bush tucker and try your hand at coastal foraging while the sun sets, see the spectacular staircase to the moon then sit back for some star gazing while listening to Dreamtime stories about the constellations.
