RAN Station 9 (former) (QHR)
In early 1942, the site initially comprised a machine gun emplacement on the Brisbane River’s north bank built to cover the anti-submarine boom that stretched across the river to Fort Lytton. From February 1943, a submarine indicator loop was added to Pinkenba’s defences. In September 1943, a Photo-Electric Beam Receiver Station was added. The site was designated RAN Station No.9 in January 1944.
