G'day All, Thanks for posting that Mike, very interesting. It's a shame that we don't seem to have the collective enthusiam like they do in other parts of the world re their past and recent history.
There were some stories in the Sydney papers some 5/6 years ago re NPWS opening some of the secret tunnels in and around Sydney, but that lot are too tangled with red tape and no funds/staff so that will probably never happen, well I've never seen anything since.
There are a quite a few sites of WW2 significance along the coast of NSW but alas most of them are very derelict, one which has recieved some attention and is starting to look good is the old radar station on Sth Head Tomaree (Pt Stephens), the records for what actually was along the Stockton Bight would be a good read, but I wouldn't even know where to start looking. I do know that the concrete hut down around Belmont and along the Stockton Bight there was another post (called Ypres) and further inland on a hill (about 15 miles inland) there was another listening post, all that remains there now is some rusty iron and small bits of concrete and it's on private property now and access is very limited anyway getting right off here, as I'm sure that there are hundres of sites dotted around Australia alone cheers Dennis
