Without a doubt, Australia has some of the best stargazing spots in the world. From our beaches to our deserts and everything in between, the lack of light pollution in regional Australia means we have epic night skies. If you want to soak up the stargazing vibes, but don't want to get out of bed in the middle of the night, why not stay in a place where you can see them from bed? Lonely Planet has released a new travel guide, Under the Stars Camping Australia and New Zealand, with 200 of the best places to add to your wishlist.
Our recommendation: hire a chic campervan or motorhome – Camplify have vans of all sizes to choose from – map out a bunch of stargazing locations you want to visit and travel between them in comfort at your own pace. Read through to see some of the best places in Australia where you can sleep under the stars. Just outside Perth, you don't actually find out where these cabins are until just three days before your stay.
The trio of tiny cabins offer privacy and comfort in re-energising and easy-to-reach nature-based settings. Perfect for a winter escape, all cabins have as mall wood-burning stove, a firepit outside, and a curated selection ofbooks and board games to entice you from checking your phone. Would you camp by an abandoned silver mining town? What if we told you it was just $6 a night? Yerranderie was home to more than 2000 residents back in the early 1900s, but is now one of Australia's best-preserved ghost towns.
