I did have images from inside the Canberra observatory from their old website, from many years ago but cannot find them now. I recall that the website stated that the 7" Astro Physics was donated thu the japanese consulate. ( I have an Astro Physics 180EDT f 9 and out of interest searched years ago to see if there were any others in Australia )
However I did find this thru google, copy/pasted from the Wodenvalley business directory just now :
Canberra Space Dome and Observatory
A virtual reality star theatre, the Canberra Space Dome offers multimedia shows featuring magnificent star fields, video projection and awesome digital sound. The 11 metre Planetarium seats upto 70 people in relaxed comfort.
The telescopes of the Canberra Observatory arew world class and include a 41cm Newtonian - Cassegrain IK6 with 17.5cm Astro-Physics Starfire refractor (in 5.2m dome), an Astro-Physics 15cm f/12 refractor (in 2m dome) and a Celestron C14 (in a 4.2m dome).
A unique astronomy complex is annexed to the Downer Club in suburban Dickson 4km from Canberra City Centre.
