Sky Dome Cafe services the food and beverage needs of Outback Astronomy. The cafe closed for renovations in mid 2022 and planned to reopen in 2023. This could not happen as Outback Astronomy had to deal with a power station proposed by Hydrostor on the Flying Doctor mine deposit across the road from our venue, at 1.13km. As this location is very close it introduces new noise and light and other changes to our operating environment.

We continue to defend our right to exist.

We operate the cafe 11am to 3pm, Sundays and Mondays. We will continue to operate on these days until further notice.

Please support our daytime cafe if you are in the region or a local wanting to enjoy a bit of country atmosphere.

Offerings remain limited as we work through legal matters.

Standard food offerings are:

• BLTs and Ham/Cheese toasties
• Whole foods – as offered in our sky show PLUS ticket hospitality service
• Cookies and Cakes
• Special cookups, eg curries, stews, pies

Standard beverages:

• Barista coffee, chai latte and hot chocolate
• Milkshakes, other cold drinks
• Licensed – wines from Orange (NSW) and Mildura (Vic)

New in 2025:

• Outdoor sky dome cafe deck area now has a pot belly fireplace for winter warmth
• Sky show dinner area has Draco – a bigger pot belly fireplace for sausage sizzles (when cold) and dutch oven stews and curries for group bookings
