Can attest to this. Australian cities aren’t as huge as US cities. Not Melbourne, but when I made a trip to central Australia to Uluru. We slept under the stars in the middle of the desert. It was absolutely gorgeous and you could see the Milky Way very clearly. Probably the brightest sky littered with stars I have ever seen.
- paranoidrobot 9y agoDriving even 30-60 minutes outside of most Australian cities will get you very dark skies. But it's still a world of difference to go out somewhere rural, and preferably high up (eg northern NSW Tablelands) to camp under clear skies. Even without drugs, spending too long staring out at those enormously bright stars can be a very trippy experience. You can almost convince yourself that at any moment you could fall off the planet and into those stars.
