For those planning to visit Canberra (and for the locals) ....
The Mount Stromlo Visitor Centre and Southern X Cafe opened today.
The new Cafe (operated by the Southern Cross Club) serves a mean coffee...
The new displays are very well set out and includes the Oddie refractors, both the extensively fire damaged original (a very sad sight for those who had looked through it in the past) and the beautiful recreation by Tim Wetherell.
There is also a beautiful Thomas Cooke refractor in the foyer that I would love to take home
Upstairs there is a children's area with books and activities......
