The GDC Observatory is an astronomical observatory dedicated to the exploration and science of the night sky. Located in Gingin, Western Australia the observatory is a part of the Gravity Discovery Centre Precinct.[1] The Observatory is open to the public on a regular basis.

Southern Cross Cosmos Centre

The observatory is located in the Southern Cross Cosmos Centre, a purpose built facility opened in 2001,[2] with a slide off roof housing five telescopes available for public use on astronomical viewing nights.

The largest telescope is a {{convert|25|in|adj=on}} Obsession telescope named "Brodie-Hall", donated to the observatory by Jean Brodie-Hall on behalf of the late Laurence Brodie-Hall.

The facility is located next-door to the Zadko telescope run by the University of Western Australia that is actively involved in scientific research.[3]
