Radar Station, Charlie's Hill, Military radar station in Inkerman, Australia.
Two reinforced concrete igloos and tower foundations remain at the strategic Charlie's Hill site, positioned for coastal surveillance of Queensland's shoreline.
The Royal Australian Air Force constructed the No 211 Radar Station in 1943 to monitor potential Japanese aircraft during World War II.
The station's personnel included both Royal Australian Air Force members and Women's Auxiliary Australian Air Force staff working in three daily shifts.
Visitors access the heritage-listed site through Bruce Highway and Charlie's Hill Road, following an unsealed track to the hilltop location.
The station operated one of only two fixed ground high flying radar stations in Queensland using British Advanced Chain Overseas equipment at 42.05 megacycles.
