Australian Outback: 2-Night Astrophotography Expedition
2-Night Astrophotography Expedition
Step off the beaten track and into the vast, starlit silence of the Australian Outback. This 2-night experience has been carefully designed for those who want to witness some of the darkest skies in Australia at the lowest possible cost, without compromising on quality, knowledge, or atmosphere.
Based entirely in the iconic Flinders Ranges, this experience focuses on dramatic outback landscapes, ancient ranges, and truly immersive nights beneath a pristine sky. Accommodation is exclusive camping, using premium Heimplanettents, purpose-built for comfort, stability, and protection in remote environments.
William Godward is a former two-time Australian Olympian turned award-winning nightscape astrophotographer based in South Australia. With over 25 years of experience capturing the night sky, he is recognised as the leading expert and top choice for astrophotography tours in South Australia, trusted for his deep knowledge of both iconic and remote dark-sky locations. His breathtaking high-definition, multi-layer panoramas feature the Milky Way, celestial events, and astronomical wonders across Australia’s rugged landscapes. William’s work has been featured by NASA, Australian Geographic, and major news outlets, and he has collaborated with international space agencies to showcase the southern skies. Driven by a passion to help others connect personally with the night sky, William continues to inspire with images that capture the universe's awe and majesty.
You’ll receive personalised mentoring from a master astrophotographer — learning the technical and creative skills needed to photograph the Milky Way, star trails, time-lapses, and more.
But that’s not all. Each night, you’ll take part in guided astronomy tours, with access to a large telescope offering jaw-dropping views of nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies in the southern night sky — sights most people never get to see with their own eyes.
✨ This exclusive workshop is proudly supported by Sky-Watcher Australia, giving participants a unique opportunity to try the latest advancements in star tracker technology. You’ll have hands-on access to cutting-edge gear that can elevate your astro images to new levels of precision and detail — ideal for deep-sky, Milky Way, and tracked landscape astrophotography.
The Experience
