About this audio guide
This guide to the North Gorge Walk on North Stradbroke Island follows the young RAAF radar crew stationed on this headland during the Second World War, and the hospital ship Centaur that passed close by one night in May nineteen forty-three. It traces the tedium of their long coastal watches, the equipment they worked with, and the war they were bracing for. Look east from the boardwalk toward the stretch of water they spent their nights scanning.
