The observatory is located in the Southern Cross Cosmos Centre, a purpose built facility opened in 2001,[2] with a slide-off roof housing five telescopes available for public use on astronomical viewing nights.

The largest telescope is a Шаблон:Convert Obsession telescope named "Brodie-Hall", donated to the observatory by Laurence and Jean Brodie-Hall.

The facility is located next-door to the Zadko telescope run by the University of Western Australia, which is actively involved in scientific research.[3]
