It certainly is. It is part of my backyard, so to speak. As @snooway noted - vastness. So living in Canberra, this is our backyard.
Fun fact - Tidbinbilla is home to the Tidbinbilla Tracking Station at Honeysuckle Creek - the station that received news and transmitted it to NASA for the Moon Landing. So the Aussies were the first to get the news.
It also features in the epilogue of Jeff Waynes "War of the Worlds." when the radio operator is attempting to raise an active tracking station.

Lovely
Yes. Thanks for reminding me of this fun fact.
Indeed. Great place.
