Abandoned since the war.
There are many horseshoe shaped gun emplacements
around, clearly visible from the air.
Frank Anderson recalls from 1970:
"They
were Phosgene gas bombs rusted and some were weeping, I reported them to the
Australian army who destroyed them by blowing holes in
them with what I
took to be shaped charges as the holes were nearly square.
They were also large 1,000 lbs bombs. There were also plenty
of H.E. bombs in
the area."
