The agency’s Deep Space Network facility in Canberra, Australia, sent the equivalent of an interstellar “shout” more than 12.3 billion miles (19.9 billion kilometers) to Voyager 2, instructing the spacecraft to reorient itself and turn its antenna back to Earth.

so basically... "g'day mate! give it a burl and take a good squizz over here!". did I get that one right?

That's absolutely mind bending that they have the accuracy to shoot a beam of information that far, and are able to hit the craft, while it's spinning
