The Queensland town of Winton has been certified as an International Dark Sky Community.
The town has committed to managing its light pollution and installed warm bulbs in its streetlights.
Winton Shire Council and tourism operators believe the certification will attract stargazers wanting to experience the natural night sky.
I grew up in rural Texas. One of the few joys I had was being able to look up into the sky and see the Milky Way just about every night.
Grew up in a rural town (less than 800), was my favorite part. The early/late running or intimate backroad walks was incredible
My feet are still hard as rocks from walking on the hot pavement so much when I was younger.
Ive heard barefoot is healthier but damn if its not uncomfortable
