In the uk we have this deep bunker in a town in essex called 'south woodham ferrers', there's a hill all the locals know as radar hill, because at one point it had a great big whopping radar on top of it. But yeh, pretty mental, me and a friend actually found an entrance in a part that's now fenced of, we looked down and it goes a looooong way down, I was young however but i swear i see people walking down there. black chnooks fly over every wednesday i think, could be monday, either one, but they fly over without fail and have done for about 5 years. My mate while i was at university which is far from home told me how recently they've had like 5 - 7 chnooks fly over at times.

Apparently it's formally known as 'Bushy Hill'

The base used to be owned by marconi.
It's quite clear also the base hides in plain site, it's got radio towers etc, but they're isn't much, except a few small building's, though the entire hill (which is large) is actually of limits now, but with barbed wire only. Im assuming one of those small building's takes you down to the lower levels.

Ive lived there for 11 year's and i have no idea what goes on there, not a thing, not one rumour, nothing because it's completely secret, just the occasional wild speculation.

Can't believe I read to pages and not one person asking why they are building these things... does anyone know why they are secret? Not asking questions is what got us to this point...those bases are for something...

that is so cool...i wish i lived in a place where things like that were around...the best thing around here is an old state hospital...walking through those bunkers and tunnels would be so awesome...and might i add a little bit more comfortable than some state hospital and college steam tunnels...

i am sorry - but the mine you cite [ loc 34° 3'16.04"S 150°26'48.84"E ] is bloody blatantly obvious

maybe my interests - of industrial archeology and exploring / documenting the disused stone , slate , coal and metal mines of the UK

but the evidence all screams ` major mine `

and yes - i can tell its a mine as oposed to a quarry such as the one here :

33°48'37.90"S 150°39'50.63"E

but going back to your mine - what is this ?

34° 2'40.79"S 150°25'53.51"E

just to the NW - the resolution on my GE is appalling - and i cannot tell if its a spoil / waste heap / dump or a quarried area

I agree that a old disused mine could be used for what is stated, as there are many that do go deep underground.

the problem with some or most are that they have been caved in through age, flooded or blocked by the mining companies before leaving making them dangerous for those who enter.

having some secret bunker out there would also still need to be protected somehow by those who built them, too many prospectors and such would otherwise quite easily find them while exploring through some of these old sites that haven't any fences or personell around to keep people out.

The thing that worries me is why many governments are building these underground facillities.... in secret....there is no real threat unless they know about something we do not.
