Bungonia
Bungonia derives
from an Aboriginal word meaning 'sandy creek'
Bungonia was originally called Inverary.
A post office opened at Inverary in 1832 and was renamed Bungonia in
1836. When the Great Southern Road (now the Hume Highway)
bypassed the town, it ceased to grow beyond a small village.
In the 2006
census, Bungonia had a population of 258 people.

THE BUNGONIA HTS UHF RADIO REPEATER IS ON-LINE AFTER HAVING BEEN
SERVICED.
The Bungonia Hts Private UHF Radio repeater has now been moved to its new
home as of 2 April 2011
with an elevation of over 750 mts (ASL) with an
authorised transmit power of
50 watts
which I have now reduced to 30
watts.
We have successfully tested the radio from Bungonia to Goulburn,
Windellama, Lake Bathurst, Tarago, Lake George, Bungendore, Nerriga & east
towards Nowra for several kms, Robertson, Federal Hwy towards Collector.
(of course there are many 'black spots' because of terrain) but
communications were successful over that distance using a small
5 watt portable radio.
Good clear signals were made throughout Bungonia village & out to Inverary
Park. Also along the length of Jerrara Road, O'Allen Ford Rd, Windellama Rd.
Transmit at 477.800
Receive at 472.600
Are you ready for the summer heat?
Do you have sufficient communications with your neighbours during a fire or
medical emergency?
If you don't have sufficient communications then contact Cal about your two way radio
needs and get onto the Bungonia Hts Private UHF frequency.
So if you would like to purchase a
5 watt portable radio or 50 watts vehicle mounted
radio to transmit and receive on the Bungonia Hts private UHF radio
frequency then contact
Cal on 48447273
and get in early because later this year the old 40 channel UHF radio is
being phased out for the upcoming 78 UHF CB Channels.
A good solid UHF Radio is a "MUST HAVE" when you need simple or Urgent
communications with your neighbours or some of the Emergency Services in
this area.
