About: Take a journey through the night skies with adventurer and astronomer Dr John McGrath. This engaging presentation is kid and big kid friendly alike, just bring warm clothes and a questioning mind.

Learn how to look seconds, years, even centuries back in time and see stars so big they would swallow the earth if we were around them.

John will show you gatherings of stars, sister galaxies, how to find the centre of our own galaxy, the meaning of your Zodiac sign, even a planet or two. We’ll even tackle the age old question… is there life out there?

Be surprised how important reading the stars was for the daily life of Traditional Owners. Learn useful skills like navigating with the stars and recognising the increasing number of man-made objects in space.

					Excellent! The adventurer tour really exceeded our expectations - fun, informative and properly challenging (in all the right ways).  Just an all-round great memory and way to experience the caves.



Our guide (Izzy) was superb; professional, friendly, knowledgeable and able to tailor the experience to the conditions on the day and the wishes of the group.  Very impressed.

					Worthy Stop Over We went to the caves with our kids in the afternoon. Well guidet tour, with interesting insides to the caves flora and fauna. We are happy to go there and not just drove trough to Yeppoon.



Also good Coffee and shop, where you can buy real fossils.

					Amazing! We stayed the night at the Capricorn Cave then completed the explore tour with our two young children. We have Mikayla as our tour guide. She was fantastic especially with the kids on the tour. She engaged the kids with child friendly information. Definitely worth the stop.

					Hidden gem! Wonderful experience, thoroughly recommended. All staff are professional and very personable. A delightful visit and the accommodation is excellent. The cabins are spacious and well equipped. We liked it so much we went back just for a stay without any cave visit.

					Adventurer Tour I did the tour Adventurer Tour with my two sons. We had a fantastic time and the tour did not disappoint at all. Huge shout out to our guide (Jai from memory) who is still new to the job but was an absolute blast and showed experience and knowledge well beyond his years. Will definitely recommend and come again
