It was also filmed in Parkes, according to IMDB.

Just the telescope scenes, at least according to Wikipedia:

Apart from the radio telescope scenes, the majority of the movie was actually filmed in the small town of Forbes 33 km south of Parkes because of its old historic buildings, and also in Old Parliament House in Canberra, and Crawford Studios in Melbourne.

I don't really remember much when the movie was filmed but I am also from around those parts. Some of it was filmed in Parkes and some of it was filmed in Forbes, which is the town that I was born in and I work in Forbes too. And yes it was truly fantastic to have a filmed in both towns.
