No one is spot on the money. The given coordinates is the protoype installation of the Jindalee Over the Horizon, completed in the 1990s. This is now a research radar and there are two operational radars that make up the Jindalee Operational Radar (JORN), at Laverton in Western Australia and Longreach in Queensland.There was meant to be 3 operational radars but the budget was cut. Here are some links: http://www.defence.gov.au/dmo/esd/jp2025/jp2025.cfm http://www.defence.gov.au/raaf/organisation/info_on/units/1_rsu/index.htm If you listen to gossip, with all three radars pointing at the same bit of sky, it is possible to pick up stealth aircraft.How accurate that is, I don't know.
