Chasing Aurora (Southern Lights) in Tasmania & Exploring Hobart

Details

We're going to Tasmania to chase Aurora (Southern Lights) after dark. We will also explore Hobart on Saturday and Sunday. This is perfect for people who have the option to work remotely between Monday and Wednesday. I will be carrying the camera and will be taking the photos. Please note that Auroras are very hard to predict. If we don't get to see Aurora, we will try and take photos with the Milkyway (weather permitting) and also do light painting photography. The cost details can be found in the description below. This event is only open to guests 18 years and older.
