An educational trip for Lauderdale Probus
04 Dec 2024
Thirty members from Lauderdale Combined Probus Club went on an educational trip to the radio telescope observatory at Tasmania University.
On site is the Grote Reber Museum which displays objects collected throughout Grote’s life and displays covering radio telescopes. Grote, a Tasmanian by adoption, was a world pioneer in radio telescopes and was an interesting thinker. In fact, he designed and built a battery powered car long before Elon Musk was born.
The group went on to enjoy lunch afterward at the Midway Point Tavern.
