Mrs Joan Ellery visited Canberra in April 1998 and photographed Mt Stromlo Observatory and Tidbinbilla Space Tracking Station. Having read of the devastation of Mt Stromlo in the 2003 Canberra bushfires, she sent the colour negatives of her photographs to the ACT Heritage Library.
The five images are:
- The Exploratory, Mt Stromlo (visitor centre and cafe)
- Sign at the car park, Tidbinbilla Deep Space Tracking Station
- Antennae (dishes), Tidbinbilla Deep Space Tracking Station (2 images)
- Plaque from Honeysuckle Creek Deep Space Tracking Station, removed to Tidbinbilla when Honeysuckle Creek was closed
