Here’s my contribution to the Deep Space Center photo collection. This is from April 2019.

I’d like to say it was the highlight of the trip that day, but we say platypuses at Tidbinbilla and they were amazing.

Got a nice photo of a Southern Brown Bandicoot yesterday at #Tidbinbilla Wildlife Sanctuary just outside #Canberra https://flickr.com/photos/purecaffeine/52588511361/

Their numbers may be dwindling, but the ex-trackers from the #Honeysuckle & #Tidbinbilla space stations are still the giants upon whose shoulders we stand.
The role they played in the #Apollo missions inspires us all today as we return to the Moon with #Artemis.

#OTD 50 years ago, #Apollo17 launched on the last of the Apollo Moon landings.
The tracking stations at #HoneysuckleCreek, #Tidbinbilla and #Carnarvon played crucial roles.
Astronaut Harrison "Jack" Schmitt sent his thanks in this special message to the Australian space-veterans.
