In a first for the Southern Hemisphere, a world-class celestial light and sound installation is launching at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary in March 2025. Forget everything you know about light shows—Astra Lumina is a fully immersive cosmic journey of light, sound and magic.

Opening on Wednesday 5 March, the new permanent eco-tourism attraction will fuse projections, lighting, storytelling and soundscapes to create an ethereal trail through Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary’s 27 hectares of bushland, distinct from the Sanctuary’s wildlife experience. 

Experience a completely different side to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary; this enchanting, multi-sensory night walk will showcase Currumbin’s natural beauty with breathtaking, cutting-edge technology. While we can’t reveal details yet, some of the trail’s highlights include the Astra Archway, Stardust Rays and Nebular Waves...

From the creative masterminds at Moment Factory—the team behind jaw-dropping productions for Billie Eilish, Madonna, and Disney—this globally celebrated light show has already mesmerised over one million visitors in cities like Los Angeles, Seattle, and Philadelphia. This will be the first and only Astra Lumina installation in the Southern Hemisphere. So yes, we’re expecting big things. 

General Manager of Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, Travis Couch, couldn’t be more excited to introduce this world-class experience to Queensland.

"This is a game-changer for the region. Astra Lumina Gold Coast combines nature, storytelling, and immersive technology to create unforgettable moments under the stars. It is an incredible way to showcase the Sanctuary’s beauty after dark, while offering a world-class experience for guests of all ages," said Travis Couch.

Moment Factory’s APAC Development Director, Jérôme De Baecque, described the experience as nothing short of magical:

"With over twelve years of experience creating immersive Night Walks and having successfully delivered more than 25 around the world, we are proud to bring Astra Lumina to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. This enchanted pathway reimagines the sanctuary’s nighttime beauty, offering visitors unforgettable moments among the stars," said Jérôme De Baecque.
