Abstract

The OZ OSETI project began in 1996 with sporadic tests and observations of a few southern stars with a 0.8 m off campus telescope. But it was soon realized that if one wanted to mount a serious search for ETI it was necessary to have a dedicated observatory that was located at a convenient and accessible location. This led to the establishment of a dedicated observatory at the university's campus at Campbelltown. The observatory was built with a combination of funds from the private sector, the government, and a university research grant. The observatory was opened in Year 2000, the year of the Olympics in Sydney.
