In short:
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.
What's next?
Winton Shire Council and tourism operators believe the certification will attract stargazers wanting to experience the natural night sky.

Could you cross-post this to Aussie Enviro please? We've been discussing night sky issues.

Really miss the stars I got to see in rural WA growing up. Now I can't see any.

The town sign is also in the picture preview so a click was not needed anyway...
