Middle of the desert ?
I can see the bloody ocean

[IpodCorp]

Its on the tourist trail down the west coast. There's a town 5 km down the road and a great national park also down the road with huge tourist numbers each year. Also the place happens to be well known for its Whale shark tours... "In the middle of the Australian Desert", "Top Secret"... Well sold Science Channel! Bake that story a little more.

Do not use miles when it comes to Australia

Does everyone know that Holt was the only prime minister to literally disappear.

This secret facility has a wikipedia page....

[sandyfoope]

Theres a town just south of here. Its Ningaloo national park. Best snorkling spot in W.A australia. Whoever made this videos a clown.

It’s so secretive there is a giant sign titled “Naval Communication Station Harald E Holt” and “Frequency range: 14-28 KHz...Normal output power: 1MW...Maximum output power 2MW”. There are similar antenna system near my house not in a form of a hexagon but no clear sign. OMG!!! I think they controled my mind to write this crap. 😂

My cousin in the Australian Air Force said it is for communicating with submarines.. his friend worked there. I think it’s a strange shape for something so simple, something is up.

We have had a corresponding system for many years in our area here in Northern Norway.
E14 21'37.44" N67 12'4.32 That's the transmitting station.

The receiving station E14 33'58.38" N67 21'58.66"

It's at the exact opposite of the Earth from the Bermuda Triangle. I am not even kidding.

[johngrae]

It also operates as a H.A.A.R.P device.

Saw this place on a road trip from perth where i live to exmouth. The sheer size of the main tower is just incredible.

[The_Deaf_Aussie]

Im an Australian. At first i cast a little bit of doubt of this channel as i watched a few clips, but it wasnt until THIS clip.. confirmed that this channel.. is full of it. :)

You can take the piss out of "muricans, but you cant take the piss out of Aussies. :)

[religionispoison]

some say the whole base went for a swim one day and it was never seen

[mrty]

Cool story, but it needs more aliens.

[dangusdong]

mate i used to live in Exmouth as a kid n go to bundegi beach right next to it every weekend to swim n all i ever thought looking at the radio towers was that they looked like a lot of fun to climb.

US/AUSTRALIA military surveillance station, military comms centre with full satellite control capabilities and an accessory site to the Pine Gap facility in the central part of South Australia. This site is also a link up centre for a main feed back to a military antennas / receiving and transmit set-up in the city of Perth. 2 giant yagi antennas are there both multi band from ELF thru UHF capabilities and capacity. One antenna normally points east towards either Canberra or Pine Gap direction while the other points north to North West Cape facility. Occasionally the giant yagi that points east is turned 180 degrees due into the Indian Ocean towards Di ago Garcia. This facility also has link up with the J.O.H.R.N - joint over horizon radar network for studies into atmospheric capacity of use of certain frequencies for communication purposes.

Hexagon with the STAR of DAVID in the CENTER is a better title.

[thestgigpig]

It’s tower zero. It’s part of the old US navy base in Exmouth, the tourist town just south of it, where I used to live. Nothing weird about it. Nothing special. Pine Gap is more relevant. This is, as the locals would say, a total Furphy. (Ww1 septic pump...)

When fishing near it one night the military police from the Harold Holt Naval Communications base stopped by for a chat just to make sure we weren’t doing anything suspicious other than fishing off the beach. Nice guys & a bit of relief from the boredom for them to see what we were catching! 👍
