Dr. Lisa knew what she was talking about, and you could see her genuine love for the topics. My sister and I both left having learned something new at the end of the night. We loved it!

Very interesting and informative presentation. Lisa is extremely knowledgeable and is wonderful in providing information in a way that we can all understand. Her enthusiasm comes through and you certainly get plenty for your money.
If you are deciding whether to go along, just do it. You will walk out will more knowledge and a smile on your face.

Do this!! It was an amazing experience! Lisa-Ann is an expert who shares her knowledge with generosity, humour and kindness. Brilliant tips about how to see auroras and other glowy things in Tassie and once we are back home too. Very small group, perfect for 8 - 80 year olds. And home made topped it off. We loved it all!
