Along the Cobar to Louth road. January 2007.

A comms and control hut at a pipeline monitoring site. Satellite comms has replaced a dedicated terrestrial radio bearer. The Cottage, a radiocommunication site ~85Km SW of Cobar NSW.

The above ground access to the natural gas pipeline at The Cottage site.

The above ground access to the ethane pipeline at The Cottage site. The 8 inch ethane pipe was provided in the 1990s. I first found out about the ethane pipeline when pegging a site for a railways radio hut at the location below. I met two men who were marking the route for the pipe. Their route would have gone right under the middle of the optimal location for the hut. I relocated the hut and saved both organisations a huge headache later. We went through their maps and found there were no other conflicts. www.google.com.au/maps/place/34%C2%B023 '49.2%22S+150%C2%B031'58.8%22E/@-34.3972455,150.5333121,44m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x7370927a8187c66a?hl=en

Remains of part privately erected telephone line. One insulated wire and earth return. This technology was used to provide telephone service to remote places in the days of manual (magneto) telephone exchanges.

I was working North of Cobar at Karoo mobile phone base hut.
