Paul Wild Observatory Visitors Centre

The self-guided visitors centre at CSIRO's Paul Wild Observatory looks directly onto the six movable dishes of the Australia Telescope Compact Array. Indoor and outdoor exhibits, a small cinema, and the surviving radio-astronomy landscape explain how interferometry combines the antennas and how the Narrabri site has supported solar and radio research since the 1960s.
