Travel to Narrabri
The Paul Wild Observatory is situated 21 kilometres west of the town
of Narrabri, which is about 550 kilometres by road north-west of
Sydney. The ATCA is built on the original Culgoora solar heliograph
site (see Robertson 1992). Five
antennas are located on a 3 kilometre railtrack and a sixth antenna is
set 3 kilometres further west. A 214m northern spur is connected to
the 3km track. Also on the site is the
Sydney University Stellar Interferometer (SUSI), the University of
Birmingham Solar Seismology Telescope, the Ionospheric Prediction
Service Observatory and the Université de Nice's IRIS instrument.
For up-to-date directions on how to get to the Observatory by air, rail,
bus or car, please see the information on the
