Title: 62 years ago at Parkes - Post by: ardiesse on November 11, 2021, 02:46:13 PM The Parkes Radio Telescope was officially opened by the Governor-General on October 31, 1961.
Here is a picture taken in late 1959 when it was a big hole in the middle of a sheep paddock. (https://i.imgur.com/I94NUn4.jpg) Note vehicle in background. And water bags too.

A pegged out circle and a team of trench diggers. And of course a beautiful FE hiding behind the mixer. Thanks for sharing.
