I agree it's a good watch, however they're different antennas.
The radio telescope at Parkes was built prior to DSS-43 that is the article's subject, they're located approx. 4 hours drive apart.

There are a few left-on-red intersections in the ACT. There should be more IMHO.

It was raised to $200 when the pandemic went into full swing, for 3 months initially and was extended. Most recent thing I found about it is from Sept last year - https://www.auspaynet.com.au/resources/ContactlessLimits

After 15 years with Macs I just last week bought a Surface Pro 6. Windows 10 is alright, better to live with than I thought it would be.
It was also significantly less expensive than the MacBook Air I was considering (AUD $1250 vs $1850) without being concerned about keyboard longevity.
Overall, I’m quite happy with my choice.

My cat is often underfoot or very close by, without the automation I’d be turning the lights on and off manually many times a night. They only come on at 1% brightness.

Hallway lights come on automatically at sunset.
Heating comes on at 4.30am in cooler months, turns off when we leave to go to work (along with the bedroom, hallways and kitchen lights which come on at 6am)
Heating comes back on at 2pm if outside air temperature is below a certain threshold.
Bathroom floor heating and towel rail switch on and off at various times during the morning, afternoon and evening depending on the day.
