Just a quick thanks to Jewgaffer for his help , bloody nice fella if you ever get to speak to him in real life , feel free to add to this topic if you land on it in future I'm off bush bashing next weekend

Thanks for the replies cheers I sent you both PM's ( I think lol ) I think I've got the location of the Brooklyn battery nailed now as well , spotted a likely structure on the point there on GE @jewgaffer Sounds like this one is further up Pittwater ? I remember seeing one tucked into a small bay while in a ferry once going to the basin I think , I'd like to get a pic of this one as well , spose I'll have to take a bottle of port to bribe the current resident lol

Cheers Jewgaffer , I have this description from a bushwalking site ... Possibly this is No.3 ? Can you confirm this for me ? I think this one could be associated with the torpedo testing range , maybe an observation point , evidently there were a lot of posts along the Western shore of Pittwater , and I still reckon I seen one up towards Bobbin Head years back I'm not going there to fish either so your spots are safe lol

@ Framedtrash - thanks for the pic there puts a bit more perspective on it @ Jewgaffer - is it the one just around the headland facing into Pittwater ? I found a description of one there in a bushwalking guide , and I think I seen it years back from the ferry. Definately interested in the location of the one you know of. @ Gremlin - yep I understand what you are saying about keeping things like this away from the general public , basically I just want to get some good current photos of the West Head bunkers for an article I'm writing , I also contribute to www.ozatwar.com adding to their data base as well as the Peninsula News , with things like this only a vague location is given , I find once people have good pictures to look at they are satisfied and don't bother visiting the harder to get to locations , same applies with Aboriginal carvings and paintings in my area ( Woy Woy ) I have some articles here on my site as well www.woy-woy.com I will definately consider your offer .. sounds fun , I have an interest in military sites along the coast , have found 2 lost airfields and 1 radar station so far Basically I'v visited most of the Sydney ones and some in Newcastle , working on the more obscure ones between the cities now so anything like this you have info one would be great Thanks guys

Thanks a heap Gremlin you saved me some time bush bashing , no wonder I couldn't find it on Google Earth , the Near Maps images are much clearer ! Excellent site that I'm doing some research on the Forts between Sydney and Newscastle , there are quite a few as you said , I think I have most of them plotted out now , planning to do some photo trips when it gets a bit cooler I found this site on the Sydney Batteries worth a look , it lists all of them http://bunkerstunnelsfortsinsydneyingeneral.blogspot.com/ Re the West Head battery I found both on the map and think I found another building ( Command Post maybe ) along the shore a bit further towards Pittwater , also I have a description of another pill box around the corner in Pittwater near Resolute Beach , but can't spot it , If anyone can verify any more buildings that would be great Cheers

Hi Ladies and Gents I landed on this site last night while searching on Google , I was looking for info on the WW2 fortifications at West Head , Pittwater NSW , rather than bump up the old post I found I thought I would make a dedicated one here Can anyone place a mark on Google Earth and send me the kmz. file or just give a good description of the locations of the 2 pill boxes they may have noticed while in the area fishing , any info at all on this site or the Juno Point gun emplacment / any other military type installations in the Hawkesbury River would be greatly appreciated , I write local history stories for my local paper ( Peninsula News ) and would appreciate your help Thanks
