The Gore Hill Site

The Gore Hill site was chosen because of its high elevation and the fact that it was an old PMG depot. Photos in the 1950s were predominately black and white and these have survived well. Experimentation with colour photography for general use was in its infancy resulting in the introduction of 35mm slides. Unfortunately some of these slides faded with time but they are included here for their historic value. Click on the thumbnail images to enlarge and view. Original TV broadcasts were made from a temporary antenna tower nicknamed "Little Toot". When the Large TV tower was completed Little Toot was used as a link tower for OBs.
