History

Australian forces in the South West Pacific and Japan were served by a number of radio stations during and immediately after WWII. Many of the stations broadcast from New Guinea, the Dutch East Indies and Borneo. Several were permanently in Australia, such as 5DR Darwin. In 1947, the ABC took over the 5DR broadcast signal and equipment and set up the new station at Gardens Hill.,
