The Mount Stromlo Observatory, nestled in the Australian Capital Territory, stands as a beacon of astronomical discovery. From pioneering research to educating the next generation of astronomers, explore its rich history, cutting-edge facilities, and ongoing scientific endeavors.

The Siding Spring Observatory, positioned on the brink of Warrumbungle National Park near Coonabarabran, NSW, stands as Australia's leading facility for optical and infrared astronomy. Nestled at an elevation of 1164 meters, it offers a detailed list of telescopes, visitor information, and highlights the significance of the region for astronomical research and environmental preservation.

Mt Stromlo was severely damaged by the firestorm of 18 January 2003. The Farnham was the only telescope to survive the January 2003 firestorm intact, and it has since been used as a public outreach telescope.

At Siding Spring, the Australian National University operates its research telescopes, and hosts those of other institutions.
