Bones Knob Radar Station, World War II radar station in Tolga, Australia
The Bones Knob Radar Station features two concrete igloo buildings measuring 11.2 meters long and 7 meters wide at Bowcock Road in Tolga.
The radar station operated from September 1943 to December 1944 as part of five British-designed Advanced Chain Overseas installations protecting Australian ammunition depots.
The station stands as a testament to Queensland's military heritage, reflecting the wartime efforts of local personnel who monitored air traffic.
Visitors can examine the remaining concrete structures, including two main igloos and a smaller power plant building near the original radar tower foundations.
The station utilized Australian oak timber for its prefabricated towers, specifically engineered to endure severe regional weather conditions.
