CSIRO TELESCOPE

The Dish times six! Satisfy your scientific curiosities at the most advanced radio telescope in the southern hemisphere, at the Paul Wild Observatory. Discover the magic that draws scientists from around the world in their quest to unlock the secrets of the universe. The CSIRO Australia Telescope Compact Array boasts six 22-meter dish antennas that work together to simulate a much larger antenna, allowing astronomers to observe very fine detail. Visitors to the Telescope Information Centre (unmanned) can explore exhibits and view updated videos, and the whispering dishes are a particularly fascinating attraction.
