Visiting The Dish in Parkes

With out visitors from Cobar,   we all finally got to go see The Dish.   The radio telescope at Parkes, NSW was used by NASA throughout the Apollo program to receive signals in the Southern Hemisphere.  It started to be used in 1961 and still is one of the world's leading radio telescope.
