On this page there are pictures relating to the CANGAROO I and CANGAROO II telescopes. If you wish to see a larger version of an image, please click on its thumbnail.
Because of a light problem from the Detention Centre, we are investigating an alternative site at Nurrungar, 10 km west of Pimba. Some pictures of this site can be found here.
