Interesting stuff seeing evidence of the Brisbane Line. From what I've read, which isn't a lot, the line was to extend from Brisbane to north of Adelaide. The rationale being that the populated S.E. was about all that was worth defending.
I do remember , as a young schoolboy in the 50s', on our 1st family holiday up to the north coast, seeing barbed wire entanglements on Park Beach at Coffs Harbour that were left over from coastal defences.
