Usage notes
Its origins lie in an advisory council set up in 1916, and it took its current name in 1949. Researchers there developed key wireless networking technology later used in Wi-Fi, earning large patent settlements, and the Parkes radio telescope it operates relayed television of the 1969 Moon landing. It employs several thousand researchers at sites across Australia.
