The area has since been converted to housing estates with the only hints to the former site at Lyndhurst and the vast antenna arrays for VNG and other radio services ever existing is "Tower Hill Park" and a road called "Towerhill Boulevard". The original Lyndhust site was owned by the then "Commonwealth Of Australia" and the boundaries of the site were essentially a triangle shape formed by the South Gippsland Highway, Hallam Road and Lynbrook Boulevard.
The replacement Radio VNG service operated from 33°42′52″S 150°47′33″E / 33.71444°S 150.7925°E / -33.71444; 150.7925Coordinates: 33°42′52″S 150°47′33″E / 33.71444°S 150.7925°E / -33.71444; 150.7925, Shanes Park, Llandillo, NSW, until 30 June 2002 on 2500 kHz and 8838 kHz. The remaining three transmitters (5000, 12984, and 16000 kHz) were finally closed down on 31 December 2002.

Famous quotes containing the word historical:
“What is the historical function of Parliament in this country? It is to prevent the Government from governing.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Culture is the name for what people are interested in, their thoughts, their models, the books they read and the speeches they hear, their table-talk, gossip, controversies, historical sense and scientific training, the values they appreciate, the quality of life they admire. All communities have a culture. It is the climate of their civilization.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“The analogy between the mind and a computer fails for many reasons. The brain is constructed by principles that assure diversity and degeneracy. Unlike a computer, it has no replicative memory. It is historical and value driven. It forms categories by internal criteria and by constraints acting at many scales, not by means of a syntactically constructed program. The world with which the brain interacts is not unequivocally made up of classical categories.”
—Gerald M. Edelman (b. 1928)
