Description
The Gravity Discovery Centre is designed to help re-open doors of curiosity. It is designed for those who are susceptible to and want to know more about the universe at large and its creation. A journey down a progressively darkening gallery past displays of gravitational phenomena to a dark area showing laser defined gravity effects and back again is designed to be a practical economic plan. It will be a transitional experience for the visitor.
How to get there
The Gravity Discovery Centre, as the public education arm of the Australian International Gravitational Observatory (AIGO), is situated on Military Road, Wallingup Plain between Yanchep and Gingin in the Shire of Gingin.
This is approximately one hour’s drive north of Perth. The drive along Wanneroo Road will take visitors past Yanchep National Park.
The facilities are located on a sand plain ecosystem in pristine banksia bushland as part of the Dept. of Conservation and Land Management's State Forest No. 65.
This is on the main tourist route to the Pinnacles.
