🌄 Charlie's Hill now shares more of its story.

Interpretive signage has been installed across the site, guiding visitors through the history of the No 211 Radar Station - one of a network of installations constructed along the North Queensland coastline during World War II.

Built in 1943 by the RAAF, the station played an important role in detecting approaching aircraft. Today, the remaining concrete igloos and foundations offer a quiet reminder of that time, with the new signs providing insight into the people, technology, and daily operations on the hill.

If you haven’t already, it’s worth taking some time to visit and explore the site for yourself.

This project has been supported by the Queensland Government through the Queensland Remembers Grants Program.

🐍 Meet Gubulla Munda – The Giant Snake Totem of the Burdekin

Visiting Ayr? Make sure you stop by Gubulla Munda, the striking 60‑metre giant carpet snake sculpture that proudly represents the Aboriginal totem and protective spirit of the Birri Gubba people.

Located in the heart of Plantation Park, this impressive artwork is not only a fantastic photo opportunity, but also a place of deep cultural and spiritual significance for the Traditional Owners. Take a moment to explore the site, read the plaques, and appreciate the powerful story this landmark carries.
