This is one of Brisbane's television transmitter towers that sits up on top of Mount Coot-tha. If you have a tv aerial in Brisbane, it is probably pointed in this direction. Funnily enough if you stood directly below it with a TV set and pointed the aerial at it to get a picture, you'd get an awful reception because of the shape of the waves coming out of the top of the tower.

You've been consistently hitting something of the essence of Brisbane (to my mind at least). Terrific stuff! Those towers have been a feature of the skyline since the late fifties. They should be heritage listed!
