I have found something very curious and am trying to ascertain exactly what it is.

I have been told nothing like this should be in this area as it is within the Sydney water catchment area.

Will post co-ords shortly.

Anything further on this Mungo? Is it possible dropping water levels in the catchment have exposed something?

Took me a while to find it....but before I do..


I think it probably a huge sewrage plant ....my best guess.


co-ord are on google earth:

34"10'42.62S
150"06'24.49E

34"16'o1.28S
150"18'57.44E

Nope Antenna complex maybe NAVAID? I will upload images shortly they are in the queue What I see is the building is recessed into a ditch or bunker

34"10'42.62S

Looks like a ranger tower or fire tower as we call them? Its in the middle of that park, yes?


34"16'o1.28S
150"18'57.44E

Plane and shadow are cool

34"16'13.O7s
150"25'54.99E

But yer coordinates need cleaning to work you got minutes and second reversed and o for 0 but you don't need the markers anyway google recognizes this way

34 10 42.62S, 150 06 24.49E
34 16 01.28S, 150 18 57.44E
34 16 13.07S, 150 25 54.99E

This be the Anomoly... I have no idea what it is.

Pretty well maintained I would say though

you know what.....
The more I sit back and stare...
the more I think this a water treament plant....as in huge tank..
sprinkler head in the centre for stagnation or filling-
the pipe from the east to fill.....pumping plant to the south..

Thats my guess

I should probably try and tilt it

So why is it in the middle of nowhere?

Not an expert however, best guess is that is a VOR. Used for aircraft navigation - where is it in relation to Alice Springs airport?

Sorry guys it's just a water tower like this one from a town i lived in a few years back 20 23 46.30s 118 36 13 12e Only diff is this one is in town

Why be sorry? Just because you cannot tell the difference between a Water Tank and a Radar Dome?

THIS is your water tank... it has legs



THIS is a Radar Dome... No legs



THIS is what water treatment circles look like..




THIS is a group of Military Antenna Arrays near Robertson Barracks

-12° 25' 50.55", +130° 57' 38.52"

THIS is a a group of Military Antenna Arrays near Holsworthy Barracks

-33° 59' 10.64", +150° 58' 37.33"

So THIS is also an Antenna Array...

-34° 10' 42.62", +150° 6' 24.49"

On the right side you will see two towers with a square in the middle, same as the other one above

Now I just need to find the base that this antenna array is for... and the small ring on the inside of the big circle is REALLY interesting...

Also there is a new base in the works near Darwin...






Found two runways but don't think these are it

-13° 44' 58.03", +130° 41' 35.17"

-13° 43' 42.16", +131° 1' 59.39"

Anyone got anything on this one?

Nackeroo LZ was offically christened with a RAAF C-130 operation on the morning of June 23, 2007. The US Air Force certification crew gave their official blessing for C-130 ops and the Royal Australian Air Force responded with quite a show for the construction team. The airfield was proudly named after the famous North Australian Observation Unit (NAUO), nicknamed the "Nackeroos" that patrolled the Northern Territory in WWII. Based in Katherine, NT (about 250 km east of Timber Creek) and led by a former anthropologist familiar with the area, Maj. William Stanner, the Nackeroos gained quite a reputation for their toughness and dedication. Initially struggling in this harsh territory, the Nackeroos formed strong alliances and gained respect for the Aboriginal inhabitants that helped them navigate the area and survive. The cooperation and mutual respect continues today as evidenced by the cooperation that is Bradshaw Field Training Area.

Google map it just to the north of Timber Creek NT, on the river bend.
