LocationLoones Hill, West Takone Radar TypeWSR 81 C Band Typical Availability24 hours
The radar coverage is 360 degrees and encompasses much of Bass Strait, Tasmania's northwest, central north and to a lesser extent, the northeast and the west coast as far south as Strahan. The coverage to the south is limited in range by the Central Plateau. In all this radar has proven to be an invaluable forecasting and monitoring tool. False echoes are sometimes viewed close in from the nearby pine plantations particularly in damp conditions. Anomalous propagation from Bass Strait cause similar echoes. Permanent echo suppression and swept gain characteristics take care of the majority of these.

Too late to leave: Victoria bushfires continue
10:38 AEDT The massive bushfire at Victoria's Grampians National Park has continued to burn for almost 10 days, and is now over 74,000 hectares in size, 15 times larger than it was late last week. Roads have been closed, firefighters are struggling to control the blaze, and locals in the southeast section of the national park were advised that it is too late to leave and to take shelter as of 7am Friday.
