At that time of day, may be parallel to other ABC outlets that are
much more audible. I hear ABC sports shows on the higher freqs that
time of day often. Sports shows, like rugby or cricket, are an almost
dead giveaway.

The Radio Australia [RA] Transmitters of the ABC
use more Power and Directional Antennas to reach
the "Distant" World.

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.radio.shortwave/msg/087e00e2c89da0d1
.
The ABC "Domestic" Transmitters use Omni-Antennas to
reach the "Local" Rural Area's of Northern Territory [NT].
http://en.travelnt.com/library/maps/large-nt_0.jpg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Territory
Most likely a Vertical Dipole -or- 1/4WL Mono-Pole
that is NVIS for the 'Local' 300~600 Mile Area.
.
Think of an AM/MW Radio Station Single Tower 1/4WL
Antenna that is Down Sized for 2310 ~ 5025 kHz :
107~49 Feet Tall [1/4WL]

Versus the normal Larger/Taller AM/MW 500~1700 kHz
Size : 492~145 Feet Tall [1/4WL]
