Also casually known as Tidbinilla Tracking Station. They have a cool museum (open on weekends) with artifacts from previous space missions, audio visual displays and a chunk of moon rock. Plus a number of active deep space antennas. A display panel shows the schedule for communication with space probes and rovers, and you can watch the dishes reorient when they change targets. Please observe the 'turn your phone off' sign as you approach the station, in order to avoid causing interference.
