This is such a gorgeous Hipcamp just an hour south of Perth and 30mins inland from Mandurah.
Jacaranda Hill Farm is a tranquil and lush sustainably-run farm owned by Rob and Sarah
Astrophotography at Jacaranda Hill Farm
Best astro view: to the east away from light pollution. Ideal for March to June astro.
Many of the sites have incredible views to the west over Mandurah. This would be great for a Milky Way Core over the city but be aware there is a lot of light pollution.
The Alcoa refinery to the southwest restricts shooting astro to the south. There is significant light pollution from Perth to the north.
Stargazing: good all directions though best to the east

From their website:
"Jacaranda Hill Farm is a sustainability-driven, off-grid camping experience that sits on 108ac of regenerative bushland at the edge of the Darling Scarp, behind the historical Fairbridge Village near Pinjarra, Western Australia."
Campsites:
There are several camps to choose from, each with gorgeous views. They are will spread out but big enough to camp with friends if you want.

Things to Remember:
- You must be self contained to remember to bring your own toilet and water, and take your rubbish home with you
