The new 1-m f/4 fast-slew Zadko Telescope was installed in June 2008 about 70km north of Perth, Western Australia. It is the only metre-class opticalfacility at this southern latitude between the east coast of Australia andSouth Africa, and can rapidly image optical transients at a longitude notmonitored by other similar facilities. We report on first imaging tests of apilot program of minor planet searches, and Target of Opportunity observationstriggered by the Swift satellite. In 12 months, 6 gamma-ray burst afterglowswere detected, with estimated magnitudes; two of them, GRB 090205 (z = 4.65)and GRB 090516 (z = 4.11), are among the most distant optical transients imagedby an Australian telescope. Many asteroids were observed in a systematic3-month search. In September 2009, an automatic telescope control system wasinstalled, which will be used to link the facility to a global robotictelescope network; future targets will include fast optical transientstriggered by highenergy satellites, radio transient detections, and LIGOgravitational wave candidate events. We also outline the importance of thefacility as a potential tool for education, training, and public outreach.
