CSIRO Australia Telescope Narrabri
The Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), at the Narrabri Observatory, is an array of six 22 metre dish antennas used for radio astronomy. It is located about 25 km west of the town of Narrabri in rural NSW (about 500 km north-west of Sydney). It is operated by the Australia Telescope National Facility, a division of CSIRO. Visits by the general public are always welcome!
Associated with the Telescope is a Visitors Centre where you can view the telescope. The Visitors Centre is staffed by arrangement for group visits (15+ @ $3pp), contact Jo Ph:02 6790 4000.
Admission is free. There is a barbeque area available for public use. The visitors centre is at the edge of a dry woodland environment. Kangaroos and galahs are plentiful. Occasionally emus, echidnas and (very occasionally) koalas can be seen. CSIRO has recently installed new displays at the Australia Telescope Visitor Centre.
