Hi, could you please provide the source from where you got your info from for the Bankstown bunker. Also you say it is still possible to get in, from where is it possible.. Cheers. Adam.J.W.C. 04:21, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

You may need to provide a reliable source for the information that you have added or I may be inclined revert all you edits. Source could be a website or something that anyone can use to varify your text also you are changing information that has references. Also where is this undisclosed location for the entrance to the bunker. Cheers. Adam.J.W.C. 04:36, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New article

I now think there is enough text about the Bankstown bunker for it to have its own article. What I will eventually do is transfer the entire contents into a bran new article and restore the information to how it was in the Bankstown and Condell Park articles. Cheers.

Hi I have never used wikipedia before I hope you type replys here?

Ahh I think this is it, I am testing sorry

You can but it might be better to click onto my username link, click the discussion tab at the top and reply on my talk page. I have also created the new article for the Bankstown bunker, there might even be a possibility for another article about underground tunnels bunkers and so on for the entire Sydney area. Theres quite a lot of them its just a matter of finding the appropriate information. Cheers. Adam.J.W.C. 04:57, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Yeh, a look inside the bunker would be nice, also about the levels, I have also heard that there is another level that access has been partially buried could that be the third underground level. Also, I think as time passes a lot of the younger generation and new people moving into the area probably don't know about the bunker and a lot of the older ones from around that time have passes away, even though some are still with us. I was simply reporting on the information provided in the references, I have used two to three different ones. One a book and the others websites that are listed in the articles, its just so that if some one does read about it then check the refs the info matches, also I have to provided refs when I include content so that what I add does not get removed. Yes but a quick look would be good. Also is it true that there was a tunnel from Black Charlies hill to Bankstown Airport. Okay signing out now, I will return to my computor later on--. Cheers.

Okay that's cool, but for the ligitimacy it is classified as a bunker of "semi-underground" construction, the reason why it is often called a "bomb shelter" etc is because of the lack of research surrounding the bunkers, many of the older folk in the area have reffered to it as an "air raid" shelter but it is anything but. So if you can reffer to it as a "operations bunker" as from what I understand. There was no public underground air raid shelters in the Bankstown area. The third level is only a rumour and nothing else, there is no evidence of a "third" level (reference RAAF archives Canberra and Bankstown city library local studies collection, item "bankstown bunker diagram" and NAA document 171/26/31 PART 1). Once again this is misinformation spread due to lack of research. HOWEVER there is a possibility of a third level, but ACCORDING TO OFFICIAL RECORDS IT DOES NOT EXIST.

That ties into my next point, does a tunnel exist? Yes it does, do I have evidence yes? yes very good evidence.. I have spoken to 3 people who worked in the bunker who can confirm the existance of a tunnel, I also have a an official drawning of the bunker from 1942 (available from RAAF archives Canberra) with a door drawn that with a description "Door under interception officers dias?" Now this door, all the people who worked there that I have spoken to remember it without pretexting them. So what of this door? Funnily enough it's sealled off by bricks that are of newer make that of the others in the bunker and the biggest give away, a bare peice of concrete hang, that exists just above where the entrance to the door is said to be, we dug behind this wall and what did we find? earth that had been moved in from elsewhere, bricks, clay and other fill completely different to what surrounds the rest of the bunker, when we dug done far enough, we also found an inner wall (much like one you would find in a building) funny that. And it is not a local soil, clay, it is completely different from anything found on site, it even included top soil. It is on the bottom floor on the south eastern wall (facing Revesby). Now think about this, it couldnt have been pushed there through the entrances known to me, because they are all on the floor above, so could it be another entrance? and why would they want to seal it? why isnt what's behind this door written on the map? It's not heading in the direction of Bankstown airport?

Beleive me, there are a shitload of bunkers in Bankstown, ever heard of Old Kent road? or the chullora railway bunkers?

I haven't acually heard of the Old Kent Road, but I did read something about the Chullora railway Bunker. I read something along the lines of having to enter state rail property and entering the bunker via a drainway, canal or some sort of pipe to get in. I also read some rumors about equipment still inside. Possibly rifles, amo maps and what not. Also with the bankstown bunker article I have divided it up into sections to make it easier to read. Added a photo which is nothing really special. A few images inside the bunker would be nice, like how it used to look inside and out back then and how it compares today. Also I transfered this conversation to the article talk page becuase others may find this interesting. If You want you can leave future comments there and I will respond if I am at my computer. Cheers Adam.J.W.C.
  • Also I changes a few of the things back to your version. If you like change a few other things as you hade them before as well. With the article I am happy with the way that it has been set out with the sections, as in History, Inside the bunker, location, Other bunkers in bankstown, and trivia. I may look into other bunkers as well if I can find the info somewhere. . Cheers Adam.J.W.C. 03:44, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
