Jersey 084 Cobar area

Thanks Roger.

Thanks Dimas. These phone lines often followed fence lines.

Thanks Xata. With the system in the photo one sometimes hd to share part of the line with other phone numbers so there was some listening-in happening. What is in this photo is very early in telecoms. About a Km from here to the right of the photo is a 75m high tower which carried the now abandoned microwave radio link system along 1300Km of natural gas pipeline. I was in the area to finalise the then state of the art mobile phone base station which uses the tower for its antenna. The gas pipeline now communicates by satellite instead of ground based comms.

Thanks Diana, so true. Look at the photos adjacent to this one to see more of the region.
