Perth Observatory

Your Gateway To The Universe

Perth Observatory, located 40 minutes east of Perth in Bickley, is Western Australia's oldest observatory. The Observatory has served Western Australia for more than 125 years and remains actively involved in public outreach and education.

Experience our amazing southern night sky through our telescopes at our night tours. Our volunteers will take you on a grand tour of the Southern Hemisphere's sky with a wide range of targets including nebulas, planets and enormous star clusters.

Browse our museum and see historical instruments, meteorite exhibits, astrophotographs and artwork and admire the beauty of the Atlas Coelestis, the first Star Atlas ever printed in 1729 from the work of John Flamsteed, the First Astronomer Royal at the Greenwich Observatory in Great Britain.
