About BDI observatory
Confirmed public details about this specific facility are limited, so this page keeps to what can be verified: its location on Australia's southeast coast, a region that gives clear views of southern-hemisphere stars such as the Southern Cross and the Magellanic Clouds.
Location & getting there
New South Wales stretches along Australia's Pacific coastline, and its southern latitude means the night sky here differs noticeably from that seen in Europe or North America.

See your named star from here
Because the southern sky reveals stars not visible further north, this part of New South Wales is a genuinely interesting place to look for a named star. Name a star or check the catalogue for its coordinates.
Opening hours and public-visit programs vary by season. Check Google Maps for current times before you travel.
