Best dark-sky places in Australia
Australia has the scale for true dark-sky travel: outback communities, observatory regions, and southern-sky stays. This collection keeps the place layer separate from the lodging catalog.
Outback, reserve, and observatory rows rank before city rows.
Mapped and Bortle-rated places are preferred.
