In 1962 Hanbury Brown moved to Australia to work at the University of Sydney. Using his Narrabri Stellar Intensity Interferometer, Hanbury Brown succeeded in measuring the diameters of 32 stars, thus producing the first empirical temperature scale for hot stars. Despite only aiming to stay in Australia for two years, he stayed for a total of 27; going on to receive the Companion of the Order of Australia honour in 1986 for his work.
