Greg Quicke’s intimate knowledge of the Earth’s environment comes from half a lifetime living under the sky watching the motions of the planets, the stars, the sun and the moon. Working as a Broome pearl diver started the journey for Greg, with a need to understand the moon’s influence on the tides. Working the Kimberley station country as a mechanic and for many years sleeping in a swag, helped to fine tune the experience.

Winter skies are best seen from the north of Western Australia where Broome provides one blue-sky-day after another and the nights are consistently balmy and clear. Stargazing in the tropics also has the advantage in being so far up around the curve of the Earth that most of the northern hemisphere sky is visible too.

Greg’s easy manner and homespun insights are so straightforward, they will easily trigger a few of your own as you become familiar with some of the brighter stars, constellations and planets. Big telescopes, lasers and a healthy dose of fun help to round out an educational and entertaining evening.
