Abstract
- The early days of radio astronomy in Australia are revisited. The evolution of ideas and the way they led to various instrumental developments and some of the results of these developments are presented. Besides these personal reminiscences, an indication of the political background that sometimes influenced developments is given and, as a coda, an account of a different approach to relativity through the so-called twin paradox.
