Dan, Goldstone aspires to more like Canberra wink.gif We have the best data return record in the Network.

Climber, The antenna in the movie 'The Dish' was the Parkes Radio Telescope which is about 300kms northwest of Canberra.
The movie got it wrong of course, Parkes didn't get those first images. The 26metre (85 foot) dish at the Honeysuckle Creek station was responsible for receiving and relaying those first steps to the world. Parkes came in later.

Daniel, we have one inside Parliament House laugh.gif plus we have kangaroos!
