Bunkers
Anzac Revisited
In
March 2001 I revisited the old Anzac bunkers and found much had changed. The
old experimental wind turbine was gone, only a concrete foundation remaining.
The area was partially flooded out. Some of the tunnels were waist deep in
water.

10th July 2002. It was
pointed out on a news group a few days ago that the official name of this
location is not 'Anzac Bunkers'. No shit Sherlock. As explained in the email
and information sections of this web site I rarely use the official names
of sites I visit in order to reduce the chances of people visiting and vandalizing
them. And to Mr Mark Newton, I do know about coastal batteries, much more
than you might expect.
This is not a web site about historical bunkers or railways it is about urban
exploration and thus terms such as 'look out tower' have been used instead
of 'Close Defence Battery observation post' or 'angle and elevation plotting
room'
