Australia’s vastness, much of it barely populated and untainted by light and air pollution, provides some of the most exceptional celestial clarity experienced by stargazers past and present. Set among the remote outback regions, dining under the stars makes for an unforgettable evening.
Below are a few of the best places to experience an exceptional dinner under a mesmerising canopy:
Longitude 131º | Uluru
The southern skies over Uluru-Kata Tjuta are a glittering kaleidoscope of stars, with cool, clear nights and an absence of manufactured lights from cities or nearby dwellings creating a stargazer’s paradise. Table 131° is renowned around the world as an iconic outdoor dining experience, with a menu prepared on a remote dune top and served under a blanket of stars. The feeling of being in a natural theatre is heightened by the chefs who work by torchlight to present four sumptuous courses.

Mt Mulligan | Northern Outback Queensland
The signature experience ‘Dining Under the Stars’ is a must do for any guests celebrating a special occasion in the outback. An intimate seven course degustation dinner is served on the edge of the weir under a blanket of flickering stars and in the shadow of lofty Mount Mulligan. The menu puts a flavoursome twist on outback living and is paired to Sommelier chosen wines from the reserve wine list.

Arkaba Conservancy | Ikara-Flinders Ranges
Dining around an old wool classing table on the outdoor terrace with the ever-changing light and sounds of the bush all around is a special and uniquely Australian experience. A firepit in the corner of the garden provides a great spot to retire to after dinner with a glass of wine or port to watch the stars appear over this ancient landscape.
