From the December 31, 2012, Nelson (NZ) by Tracy Neal.
The only surviving World War II structure in Nelson is in danger of being gone due to collapse down The Cliffs above Rocks Road.
During the war, this was a Gun Battery Observation Post. It weighs 60 tons and was built in 1943 as part of the Cliffs Coastal Battery.
Australia and New Zealand were particularly vulnerable to attack from the Japanese.
It Is Good To Save Old Stuff. --GreGen
The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
