Thanks Ric. Yes, it'd be nice to see some of it restored. I guess there are two main factors getting in the way. First, the buildings are severely damaged. Their structures are probably safe enough to ensure that they don't fall on visitors, but maybe they're beyond being used in full operation. Secondly, the suburbs are encroaching badly on the base of My Stromlo, so I guess that its useful days are over - optically speaking at least.
The hardest to look at was in the main dome. Sorry about the quality - I had to shoot through perspex with the sun behind me:
