March 14 Toyo Kogyo Co. (Mazda ) prototype sedan of 1939.Toyo Kogyo Co. of Hiroshima (Mazda) produced a prototype
sedan in 1939 (see below), but due to the Second World War,
it was not until 1960 that Mazda began the mass production
of sedans and commercial vehicles.
The prototype was based on a British car.

March 02 Old Receiver Site - Radio Australia Cox Peninsula 1969The photo below shows the old Receiving Site for Radio Australia at
Cox Peninsula, near Darwin, in 1969.
The Receiving Site was closed down in 1974 when a microwave
system from Mount Isa was extended through to Darwin.
The purpose of the receiving site at Cox Peninsula was to receive
short wave transmissions from Radio Australia in Shepparton, and
relay the signals to the Transmitter Site ten miles north of the Receiver
Site.
A microwave tower with two dishes can be seen in the picture. One
dish points south across Darwin Harbour to Darwin, and the other dish
points towards the Transmitter Site to the north.
The signals received from Shepparton were relayed to the Transmitter Site
via the microwave link, and retransmitted from the Transmitter at a power
of 250 Kilowatts.
After 1974, Radio Australia programme material was relayed direct to the
Transmitter Site from Darwin, which was now connected to Melbourne via
the National microwave link. There was no longer any need to receive
short-wave transmissions from Shepparton off air, so the Receiver Site was
closed down and the land handed back to the indigenous owners.
