The David Malin Awards, presented by the Central West
Astronomical Society (CWAS), are Australia’s premier
astrophotography awards, celebrating excellence,
artistry and technical achievement in capturing the
beauty of the night sky. Named in honour of Dr David
Malin – a pioneer of colour astrophotography whose
work transformed our understanding of the southern sky
– the awards recognise both amateur and professional
astronomers who push the boundaries of what is
possible through imaging. Each year, the awards
showcase the very best of Australia’s deep-sky, lunar,
planetary and wide-field astrophotography.
Tribute to the Original Calendar Producer
This calendar is also produced in tribute to David
Widdowson, the original creator and driving force

As the Astronomical Society of Victoria continue this
calendar, we do so with deep respect for his legacy and
a commitment to honour the passion and
craftsmanship that he originally brought to life.

The rock art of this area is famous for striped figures of the Lightning Brothers and other Spiritual Ancestors; and his tourist ventures give large numbers of people the chance to see these Dreaming of his people.
Stockman, land rights pioneer, story-teller par excellence and original painter, this custodian of sites as well as stories has always talked of the moon and stars On Top. In 1998 he asked Dr Hugh Cairns if he would write a book with him on his astronomy... Dark Sparklers is the result, and above all is an intriguing insight into a rather amazing modern Aboriginal Elder who has a cosmic view of life within his earthy realism.

Einstein's Telescope
$29.95
Astronomers have long known that the Universe is expanding, but everything they could see indicated that gravity should be slowing this spread. Instead, it appears that the Universe is accelerating its expansion and that something stronger than gravity --dark energy -- is at work.

Based on Einstein's theory of general relativity, gravitational lensing, or "Einstein's Telescope," is enabling new discoveries that are taking us toward the next revolution in scientific thinking -- one that may change forever our notions of where the Universe came from and where it is going.

Murriyang Song of Time
$39.95
In his most poetic and inspiring work yet, he offers a means of moving beyond the binaries and embracing a path to peace and forgiveness, rooted in the Wiradjuri spiritual practice of Yindyamarra - deep silence and respect.
Murriyang, in part Grant's response to the Voice referendum, eschews politics for love. In this gorgeous, grace-filled book, he zooms out to reflect on the biggest questions, ranging across the history, literature, theology, music and art that has shaped him. Setting aside anger for kindness, he reaches past the secular to the sacred and transcendent.
Informed by spiritual thinkers from around the world, Murriyang is a Wiradjuri prayer in one long uninterrupted breath, challenging Western notions of linear time in favour of a time beyond time - the dreaming.
Murriyang is also very personal, each meditation interleaved with a memory of Grant's father, a Wiradjuri cultural leader. It asks how any of us can say goodbye to those we love.
