It’s location actually makes sense considering that it had to cover the whole western/south western side of the state, especially for places like Ararat, Horsham and Hamilton. Warrnambool, Portland and Nhill would have to wait until the end of the decade to get their translators. I remember reading that Warrnambool and Portland were fed directly off Lookout Hill. Nhill was fed via a UHF translator on Mount Arapiles. Once the transmitter on Mount Dundas came online back in the early 80’s, all 3 could be directly fed from here instead.
