Somewhere in Australia...

a reply to: Shana91aus

It's called, Harold E. Holt naval communications station, it provides VLF communications to the Australian and US navies.

There's also Jindalee OTH radar station, an Echelon base near Geraldton, Pine gap and Woomera.

thankyou so much for the info!

Just googled the Exmouth one some pretty interesting stories surrounding it like this Link, I wonder if theres anything sinister happening with all them massive antennas surely normal radio signals couldn't mess with a plane to that extent? although I do know they are sensitive to that kind of thing so maybe, I can't find anything to do with what the investigation in to the incident I lnked above concluded though.

Nurrunga is nothing but ruins now . I was there in the 80s and it was pretty full on . However Woomera has 300 people now and about 80 AFP officers .

a reply to: hutch622

And at least a couple of black aircraft too

a reply to: Chadwickus

I think the British are developing there own version of a drone at the moment . Hanger 5 is the big question .

The resolution is pretty poor, but my guess is that is possibly a disused gas well site (as there is gas in this area). Other than that it's likely a water pump/well-head or a cattle collection point. Possibly an Aboriginal site. Lake Eyre is pretty desolate, but there are cattle and there is a few gas stations.

Doubtful that it's military or HAARP when looking at the real world.

The OP is pointing to an area near Lake Eyre, so Harold E Holt is in the wrong part of Oz, which is incidentally a hexagonal structure. Jindalee is also in the wrong part of Oz, as is Geraldton. Woomera and Pine Gap are two or three hundred miles away. Therefore, it's none of these.

I wasn't replying to the OP, I was replying to someone else asking about other Australian bases.

This is a water dam. They are common in Australian outback areas. We have a sheep property of 73,000 acres and there are about 20 of these dams on it (although only 16 hold water) all visible from google. The square design is due to ease for machinery to dig them in the first place, the old timers dug them with horses and dam scoops, those dams are genraly oval shaped. The tracks leading in are gutters that catch run off water from the surrounding area in the event of good rain, the small hole is called the "catch" and is created to allow sediment and debris from the gutters to settle before entering the main dam and silting up the bottom. A lot of sheep and cattle properties are in remote areas, our station is 80km (50 miles) from the nearest town and even then the town has less than 400 people,we live in the town. Driving from town to our station we only pass two other homes (both station homesteads also) between the town and our station there would be 100 or more of these dams scattered through that part of the country.

Cheers, Lindsay.

Interesting, why doesn't some Australian on the board take a drive out there and have a look tomorrow, I mean, how far could it be?

a reply to: Shana91aus

Not officially bases I guess... shared "joint" bases... just google Im sure its out there somewhere. Start in Alice springs then look out in the desert like the op did here.




edit- I guess I can share if its on google huh.. check out pine gap. then on some of these conspiracy websites you can see what some people like the op did here and are closer to the truth than they know. gl

Hmm, perhaps ones utilizing alternative/exotic propulsion systems?

Been lurking for many years, lost my original password and changed email address so had to re join, but yes, re joined specifically to post that comment. Only trying to help, the google image was unidentified, now it isn't, I though that was the idea.

America has three bases in Australia that are not well known (maybe/probably more.. I only know these). One is a HUGE listening base.


Your map is interesting.

1.Pine Gap near Alice Springs
2. Harold Holt communication station near Exmouth
3. Nurrungar near Woomera closed 15 years ago, what they did there was transferred to Pine Gap.

There's no other American installations in Australia.

hahaha, only several thousand kilometers in to the middle of nowhere.

No America hasn't got 3bases. They have PINE GAP, in Central Aust. which is used for the 5eyes intelligence gathering. The most powerful Spy base in southern hemisphere. And the US station 1200 marines at a base in Darwin. To gradually increase to about 5000. My opinion for this is the Chinese rise to power in southeast Asia. The Us is losing SUPER POWER status & CHINA is going to take that title.

Thought This Might Help Some Out When Dealing With Surveilance Bases In Australia. Not particularly bases however Embassies also have there own little SIGINT monitoring stations within Embassy premises.

Pie Gap - Northern Territory - SIGINT & Satellite Relay "CIA, NSA & ASD"

Geraldton - Western Australia - SIGINT "ASD"

Shoal Bay - Northern Territory - SIGINT "ASD"

Jindalee Over Horizon Radar - Northern Territory - Radar "DoD RAAF"

Jindalee Control Centre - South Australia - "RAAF Edinburgh"

Harold Holt Control - Western Australia - "USN & RAN"

Harold Holt Antenna - Western Australia - Communications "USN & RAN"

There have been strange lights being seen in the Darling Downs area near the Army Aviation base at Oakey.I know Google was doing drone testing there last year.

I can tell you exactly what it is: Interesting.
With that i promise i'll only comment again if i find something constructive to add.

Found this

"near" by. Could be a deserted water reservoir or something. Maybe they are both part of old infrastructure like that? Old water reservoirs, old villages, maybe...?
