And for anybody who is wondering what we are talking about, two trailers for The Dish follow:

The Dish 1.

The Dish 2.

Brilliant Australian film based on the true story of how the Parkes radio telescope in a field full of sheep in rural New South Wales broadcast the first images of Neil Armstrong on the moon - and almost didn't.

The street scenes were actually filmed in the nearby town of Forbes, not Parkes. Been there many times.
