Does anyone know if Lidar has been done in the Broken Bay area of NSW. I am doing my masters thesis on WW2 defences and 80 years later it is very overgrown and hard to find the archaeology.

Hi Paul,

Looks like you got no public replies, so here's a suggestion ... contact the GIS people at UNSW. I would hope that they would know about such coverage. If not, they can probably suggest who to talk to in the NSW government data repository for geospatial data. I don't know the URL for this, but I do know that it exists, perhaps under a different name.

Sounds like a really interesting project. I can remember pill-boxes and barbed wire entanglements out on West Head from when our family camped near Flint and Steel Point when I was a kid in the 1950s.

And of course, military use of the area goes way back, with F&S Point being used as a target. I have seen fragments of exploded cannon balls, a rifled projectile about 30 mm diameter, and cast iron round shot about 75 mm diameter from those days.

Cheers, John
