Best time and vantage points to see June’s Strawberry Moon around Perth on Tuesday June 30

It may feel like an ordinary Tuesday to some, but Perth’s lunar enthusiasts will be pointing their eyes and lenses to the sky in the hopes of witnessing June’s Strawberry Moon event. Sadly, the moon won’t appear red or pink akin to a total lunar eclipse, with the label instead denoting a full moon present in the month of June. According to Perth Observatory, the fruity moniker is derived from North American Indigenous traditions marking the strawberry harvest. For those keen to catch a glimpse of the big cheese, and side of strawberry, the moon is expected to be seen rising above the Perth Hills in the south east on Tuesday evening at 5:28pm or Wednesday at 6:26pm. Where to see June’s Strawberry Moon in Perth Recommended viewing spots include Kings Park, Wireless Hill in Ardross, and Reabold Hill Lookout in City Beach’s Bold Park. Otherwise, simply look to the sky from home and hope there’s minimal cloud cover blocking your view.
