Dover Heights: city views and radio astronomy!

I've usually seen Dover Heights as I've pounded along Military Road, towards the end of my City to Surf masochist sessions.

If you go there during your leisure time it all looks quite different. There are great views out over the ocean, lots of parks and reserves, and there's even a rather interesting radio astronomy exhibit.


It's in the Rodney Reserve, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and it tells us about pioneering radio telescopes that were here in the 1940s and 50s. Australia went on to be a world leader in radio astronomy.

And over at nearby Dudley Page Reserve, the view to the west is pretty special.
