RAN Station 9, Pinkenba, Military defense site in Pinkenba, Australia

The station began operations in January 1944 with advanced submarine detection systems and photo-electric beam technology to monitor vessels entering Brisbane River.
The facility represents Queensland's military heritage through its preserved concrete buildings and monitoring equipment from the World War II period.
Located at 51 Sandmere Road in Pinkenba, the site maintains several original structures that demonstrate World War II coastal defense architecture.
