The main 70 metre radio telescope at the Canberra Deep Space Communication Centre at Tidbinbilla. This is part of the international network that receives radio signals from the Mars rovers, Voyager, Moon missions etc.
Holbrook, NSW is home to the HMAS Otway, a decommissioned submarine. I don't know why they need to concrete it in though, it's not like it would be stolen during the night....

Looking towards the 74" telescope atop Mount Stromlo, outside of Canberra, Australia. The Mount Stromlo observatory was burnt beyond repair during the Canberra bushfires of January 2003.

I was struck by this view, and you can only really get a good feeling if you view it at a large size. The light over the hills was just spectacular. I fiddled with it in photoshop to bring out the clouds but can't remember how I did it now!
