It s 2am and a wind is gusting around Balor Hut, a small green shack high up in Warrumbungle National Park in northern NSW. The alarm has just gone off and the idea of crawling down out of the ramshackle bunkbeds is daunting.
But the annual Geminids meteor shower is due any moment and, given that s why we re here, it s time to get up.

The Warrumbungles is Australia s first and only Dark Sky Park, an honour bestowed upon it by the International Dark-Sky Association in 2016. It is, therefore, a perfect place to watch the meteor shower because there s little to no light pollution.
