This photo shows the Melbourne/Essendon, Vic, 33 Mc 'Lorenz' Radio Range antenna in about 1938. The wooden tower (with the antennae at the top) was located on Bulla Rd, now Wirraway Rd, not far from where the present Control Tower is located. In fact, this street-scape remains much the same today (c.2004).
