Vast horizons, crystal clear air and glorious music await you at this once in a lifetime concert. Set upon a raised plateau, amid the extraordinary Australian Age of Dinosaurs parklands, watch the sun set and the Milky Way emerge out of the night sky, as you’re enchanted by the songs of Mozart, Bizet, Rossini and Rodgers and Hammerstein to name a few.

This exquisite concert embraces the majesty and wonder of all the Outback has to offer.

Dark Sky Serenade ticket holders have access to complimentary return transfers to the concert, departing Longreach at 3.30pm and Central Winton at 4.30pm.
