Hello Peter As far as I am aware the radio transmission posts were situated at the top of the range (Toll Bar). I lived not far from this post. Can remember being told about spies in Toowoomba and their messages being intercepted - both Japanese and German. My dad always seemed to know what was going on (he was ex-army) and when he was away, my mum said she didn't feel afraid as she knew the men at the listening station were keeping an eye on our home. Can't remember much more, age is catching up!
