I read an article on this tower online in the local rag.

Plenty are not to happy that it sits here 'towering over the hill'

However it is NBN Tower 3228017.

1435 Anglesea Rd, Bellbrae Vic 3228.

I could have just taken a photo of any old mobile tower, but I figured I would actually not do that, and find an in-the-flesh NBN tower

Visiting relatives in forbes, and one remarked that the really big mobile tower finally had someething on it, and didn't know which proivder it was

I went "oh I will check on the ACMA site" and sure enough, NBN!

We used the link below (thanks Team MavEtJu Clapping )to find an NBN tower near us. (There are lots of towers around but which are NBN we had no idea. Turns out... none of them!)
This one IS an NBN tower. Dancing It's been built the other side of the farm paddock well away from the road. Had to use a zoom to get the picture hence the GPSr looks huge in the foreground.
Thanks TeamMerlin. Very Happy

While staying in Kempsey we decided to check the site to see where the nearest NBN tower was. This was only a couple of blocks away. Grabbed the dog, Shame on you err, lovingly collected Seeka, Laughing and off we went.

This NBN tower was recently constructed near the sale yards here in Margaret River.

This NBN tower was erected on land owned by the Nanango Golf Club and leased to NBN co. I saw the original notice in the paper and the sign on site. Then this appeared in the local golf news:
NBN Tower is up!!

If you’ve been driving through Nanango over the last couple of weeks you may have noticed a lot of activity going on in the upper corner of the golf course.

The NBN crew have been hard at work getting the new tower up and running. The towers will provide high-speed broadband services to the community and will also provide financial assistance to the golf club for upcoming projects

The site number is 9018664 and the address is D'Agulair Highway Nanango. TFTL TEAMMERLIN Clan MinotaurVery HappyClappingDancing
