About the event
All, members and visitors, are welcome! No tickets are required and entrance is free. Doors open at 5:30 pm for socialising over a glass of wine.
Ken has lobbied tirelessly to protect the night skies of the Sunshine Coast culminating in the Sunshine Coast Regional Council presently considering applying for the Obi Obi Valley to be granted an International Dark Sky Reserve through Dark Sky International. As the last place in Coastal South East Queensland that is not heavily light polluted, he believes this is the only action that will protect and preserve the valley and its rare resource.
