"The Dish"...

plenty of rain as we arrive at Parkes and its radio telescope...this dish is huge weighing 1000 tons and was used to beam the first moonwalk television pictures around the world to 600 million people on 21st july 1969...."The Dish"...

That is huge, I remember being at school and we all went to the TV room to watch the first moonwalk. Great historic shot.

[Vega]

[Karen B.]

Looks like it could blow or topple over but an interesting building of fame.

[MB]

How interesting. Great shot!

[robrazer]

Awesome

[Dianne]

Great shot - looks too heavy for the wee 'house' at the base of it.

[Kerry McCarthy]

Wow, that is quite a sight. Looks like it should topple over it's so top heavy. Nice shot.

We used to do the drive from Brissy to Wodonga (where my wife came from) every year once and seeing The Dish was one of the very familiar and welcoming landmarks

This image is very comical to me. I'm sure they must get every sports channel in the universe. Or maybe they really like HBO? But now after reading your description I understand what it was used for. Awesome shot!
