Title explains most, I’d like to connect with some enthusiasts that are more local to me,
(If there are any) I’ve been feeling a bit lonely recently and I’d like to change that.
Happy for you to either reply, or DM me.
Thanks. - HX56.

I'm not Australian but I find their sirens awesome, they look very strange sometime, like the "dinner plate" siren (it's a Grifco ? I don't remember) also the australian/dutch "horn" siren with the horn that spins around, by the way they have put them in Indonesia too! I have a video of it if you want since I don't think the Aussie one are not active anymore
Take care !

I’d love that video. Also, regarding the stacked plate siren, it’s a British General Electric siren, and I have only found two remaining. One happens to be about 10 minutes away from me, and I’m going to get photos of it sometime. They are no doubt inactive due to the fact Australia isn’t too big on sirens (until now, we are getting new Whelen installs every year, we have about 30 now) and also the fact they are WW2 era. I made a post a few weeks ago about everything I know about Grifco, so I suggest you check that out if you are interested.
