There's a story there... Yes, the antenna made famous by "The Dish", as the antenna that received the first footsteps from the Moon is 300km away at Parkes. However, the movie took some license with the truth so the antenna that actually received the first footsteps and rightfully owns the fame was the Honeysuckle Creek antenna at the then NASA tracking station: which was a few kilometres away from the current Canberra Deep Space Tracking Complex at Tidbinbilla (the subject of the article). --- Edit: The Honeysuckle Creek antenna was moved to Tidbinbilla, where it saw further service and now remains as an historic landmark.
