Luna Eclipse, Night Tour and Burgers
Tour Time: Monday 30th November 6pm
Join us for the last Penumbral Lunar Eclipse for 2020 in the skies over the Capricorn Caves, with Dinner and a special night tour of the Caves.
What is Penumbral Lunar Eclipse? It is when the moon passes through the outer shadow of the earth (the Penumbral) and is partially dimmed (unlike a full Numbral lunar eclipse). It is believed the darker sky above Capricorn Caves – with its lack of light bleed from Rockhampton should enhance the visibility of the eclipse at its maximum effect, around 7:42pm.
The booking includes dinner and a cold drink, a tour of the Cathedral Cave and the opportunity to witness this lunar eclipse in the darkness of our 80 acre property. A not to be missed event!
*Spend 45 minutes exploring our largest caves as our knowledgeable guides share stories and history with you*
