Of all pulsars known, Vela has been one of the most productive in terms in understanding pulsars and their characteristics. We present the latest results derived from Australian telescopes. These include a more accurate pulsar distance, a more precise pulsar local space velocity, a new model of spin-up at a glitch, and the association of a radio nebula with the X-ray pulsar wind nebula.
