Nestled in the Dandenong Ranges, Mount Burnett Observatory is a community-run astronomical facility dedicated to making the wonders of the universe accessible to all. Established in 1972 by Monash University, it was revitalized in 2011 by a group of passionate volunteers. The observatory offers a range of activities, including astronomy lectures, astrophotography sessions, and deep-sky viewing. Its outreach programs cater to groups up to 40 people, providing talks, dome tours, and guided viewing sessions suitable for all ages. Open by appointment, the observatory continues to inspire curiosity and foster a love for science within the community.
