Here is a shot of the antennas on the water tank. Yes this is a Voda, Telstra and Optus shared site. When i first saw this site about 2 years a ago. I said this would be a great site for Voda. Close to 2 years latter and the site is there. This site is also the first of the new series for Brisbane area (4001).

Here is a close up of one 2 (1 cell) of short range (Andrews) antennas. Notice how the one on the left is a different colour? I'm not sure why as they are both the same model.
