Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex

Frommer's Review

This information center, which stands beside huge tracking dishes, is a must for anyone interested in space. There are plenty of models, audiovisual recordings, and displays, including a space suit, space food, and archival film footage of the Apollo moon landings. The complex is still active, tracking and recording results from the Mars Pathfinder, Voyager 1 and 2, and the Cassini, Soho, Galileo, and Ulysses space exploration projects, as well as providing a link with NASA spacecraft. This is a great stop on the way back from the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve. There's no public bus service, but several tour companies offer programs that include the complex.
