Soft covered 103-page book with sketches, photographs and genealogical charts.Overview extract: "In 1939, the Australian Government considered "that Australia was not open to the threat of invasion and that we only need prepare for sporadic raids". Accordingly a radar research and construction program was put in hand using British equipment as a basis. The secrecy of the work was extreme. The veil of secrecy has now been lifted and, in the following pages are the personal accounts of some of the men who served at the Wilsons Promontory radar station."

Newspaper clipping - The article describes Maroondah Secondary College becoming the first secondary school in Victoria to run the Police Involvement in Schools Program, previously used only in primary schools. Trudy Spittle, the school’s student welfare and program co‑ordinator, explains that having police officers regularly on campus has made students feel more comfortable approaching them, while also giving officers valuable experience working with adolescents. Three police officers — Senior Constable John Neilson (Knox Police), Julie Simpson (Mooroolbark), and Jeanette Berriman (Belgrave) — visit the school every second Thursday to work with middle‑school students on pre‑driver education and health topics. As part of this, officers from the Knox traffic operations group demonstrated radar equipment and discussed braking distances for cars and motorbikes. A photo shows Senior Constable Graeme Rust presenting a radar gun to Year 10 students Andrew, Lauren, Mark, and Katy. Throughout the year, officers will also cover drug education, harassment, and legal issues. Spittle says the program’s main aim is to break down communication barriers between students and police, and that it is already proving highly successful.
