About

Carol Redford‘s passion for astronomy and stargazing was ignited during the years she owned Gingin Observatory (2007 – 2012). In 2013, Carol established Stargazers Club WA (www.stargazersclubwa.com.au) where she and her team introduce beginners of all ages to the world of astronomy, telescopes, stargazing and astrophotography. Carol is Co-Chair of WA’s astronomy and space science community, Astronomy WA and a member of the International Dark-Sky Association. She now combines her passion and marketing qualifications to develop an Astrotourism industry across regional Western Australia (www.astrotourismwa.com.au), where the State’s dark night sky asset will be protected from artificial light pollution and shared with visitors from around the world.
