There are two towers with the New Tower much larger than the old but used for telecommunications by the City of Shoalhaven Council. The TV transmission area of the Old Tower is North Nowra (south) but the tower also transmits to the north east which is just as well because that's where I live.

The TV channels are three commercial broadcasters - WIN TV, SC10 & Prime & two Australian Government owned channels being the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) & the SBS (Special Broadcasting Service).

I took the co-ordinates virtually below the tower, which is at the end of the lookout's carpark. The tower is operated by Broadcast Australia.

There are hundreds of digital TV transmitters in Australia with this link (visit link) a Google map of their locations.
