Description
Headquarters building of the Force Communication Center manned by the 1st Signal Troop, part of the Australian Army contribution to the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC). Taken at an unknown site the corrugated iron roofed hut has been covered by grass thatch to cool it and a wooden toilet has been built at left. A well constructed, corrugated iron reinforced, split trench in the foreground provides emergency protection in case the post is attacked and a skywards pointing satellite transmitter or receiver is set up at right. The post has had some homely additions placed near its entrance including an Australian black and yellow roadside kangaroo warning sign, a pedestal mounted religious shrine and what appear to be two wickerwork reindeer.
