You've shown us too many cards, Telstra. Now we know the secret location of Harold Holt's cryogenically preserved head.
Thought some folks maybe interested in this story
A FIRE prevention system, with 43 powerful remote-controlled water cannons and two giant tanks holding 3.6 million litres of water, has been launched to protect Telstra's satellite station in Landsdale.
The site, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars to build, was evacuated in 2001 and 2008 after being threatened by bushfires.
Telstra spokesman Tony Hancox said the new system was the larges of its kind in the world.
“There is a similar systems set up in Canada, but not on this scale. It’s definitely the biggest of its type.”
The $5 million protection system comprises 43 water cannons capable of throwing walls of water up to 60m around the perimeter, two giant tanks holding 3.6 million litres of water, high-powered video cameras with a 360 degree view of the surrounding landscape, and remote detectors capable of detecting smoke from spot fires up to 3km away.

Wow $5 million and 3.6 million litres of water, couldnt they just cut down some trees?
Now if I could only get ADSL 2 in my street I would be happy.
Sounds impressive though I wonder if the system can be used against intruders as well as fires!
The sea was angry that day my friends!
