Mick Ryan has provided some vintage photos
- dating probably from around 1965-66 -
showing the installation of the first SUGAR tank
and electronics at the back of the Physics building.
Some personnel from the 346 Club - from Laurie Wilson's collection.
Taken around 1970.

SUGAR Pilot Experiment
setup around Sydney Uni campus
1965 - 1967:
SUGAR base station at Bohena
and array in Pilliga State Forest - near Narrabri, NSW.
These photos are the result of scans from black and white negatives,
as I no longer have the actual photos (Leo G).
Some social gatherings around 1967:
Wonderful memories.
