Grote Reber and Wicked Cheese

Overview

Grote Reber Muse­um & Wicked Cheese

Explore the Mt Pleas­ant Obser­va­to­ry and Grote Reber Muse­um on the out­skirts of Cam­bridge. With a 26m Diam­e­ter radio dish, this col­lec­tion high­lights the life and work of 1950’s Tas­man­ian radio astronomer Grote Reber and Uni­ver­si­ty of Tasmania’s radio astron­o­my projects. 

We take a guid­ed tour of the obser­va­to­ry, the ​“big dish” and con­trol room. 

We enjoy lunch at the near­by Wicked Cheese, fam­i­ly-owned bou­tique cheese mar­kets who have gone on to win a num­ber of awards. Stop by their fac­to­ry out­let to sam­ple or pur­chase the wide vari­ety of cheeses avail­able or oth­er provi­dore products. 

Today’s tour will include morn­ing tea from the coach, entry and guide at Grote Reber Muse­um and lunch.
