Antenna mast on an elevated water supply pressure tank at Picnic Point, Toowoomba. April 2022.

The former locomotive water supply tank at Meranburn in 1993. I took this while at the FreightRail Train Radio Project. The original project design required a base station in this area and suggested bricking in an enclosure within the tower base and mounting antennas on the tank. I talked to the project management about its heritage value. It was decided after a while to use a standard hut and mast away from the tank. This was sited East (towards Manildra) which had equal vehicle access and wouldn't have a material effect on coverage.
