Abstract The Australia Telescope consists of three main components, the Compact Array, located near Narrabri, NSW, the Mopra antenna, located near Coonabarabran, NSW, and the Parkes 64-m antenna. The recently completed Compact Array consists of six 22-m diameter antennas on a 6-km east-west baseline. The Mopra antenna is a new 22-m diameter antenna of similar design to the Compact Array antennas. Each of the components of the Australia Telescope may be used individually or they may be combined as a Long Baseline Array or part of a larger VLBI array. Although the data recording systems for array operation have yet to be defined, there is a commitment to provide compatibility for global and space VLBI.
