This trackable, along with many others, was enjoyed while traveling the globe while before heading off on the next chapter of their journey. Thanks to everyone who puts trackables out there that be admired and passed on. 🌟🙏🌟

Discovered it at the Canberra Geobash.

Thank you for sharing.

You joined the Hume Highway, the major road that runs between Sydney at Melbourne, at Yass and turned to the south. It’s a long and not very exciting drive however there is a must-do stop at Holbrook. Here, hundreds of kilometres from the nearest ocean, is the decommissioned HMAS Otway, an Oberon-class submarine of the Royal Australian Navy. Holbrook was originally called Germantown but was renamed during World War I in honour of the more patriotic British submariner and Victoria Cross recipient Norman Douglas Holbrook. The Otway’s fin was donated to the town in 1994 and the community decided to tender for the purchase of the rest of the submarine, but despite fundraising efforts and a large donation from Holbrook's widow, they failed. Cleverly, they then decided to use the money raised to buy the upper section of the casing - everything above the waterline when surfaced. It’s just one of those crazy Australian things that we love. 🤪

We spotted your TB at the Canberra Geobash, or at least the table full of TBs that were there! :) Thanks for sharing it.

Mega side trip for you today. You scored some golden tickets to a behind the scenes look at the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex (CDSCC) located at Tidbinbilla. It is a satellite communication station, part of NASA’s Deep Space Network and along with its two sister stations at Goldstone, California and Madrid, Spain is now used for tracking and communicating with NASA's spacecraft, particularly interplanetary missions. Its DSS-43 antenna is the only antenna on Earth that can send commands to Voyager 2. It is managed in Australia by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). A great experience. 🛰️
