6" Unitron at Brisbane Planetarium?

Has anybody used this instrument and is it still there. When the Planetarium opened at the Mt Coottha botanic gardens, an article appeared in Sky & Telescope saying that there was a 6" Unitron for public viewing.

This was a long time ago being in the mid-late 1970s. I did visit the Planetarium and asked about using the Unitron but was given a polite: No. This always was a disappointment to me. The Planetarium's Website makes no mention of it and I am hoping that somebody can provide me with further information.
