M-S Gas Pipe Comms

The tower and yellow hut were provided for a microwave link for monitoring and control, and two-way comms, for a natural gas pipeline in the 1970s. The green hut was provided for mobile phone comms in the late 1990s, originally with CDMA and now Telstra's 3G system. The pipeline's comms are now done by satellite using the white huts.
