Geocache Description:

Melbourne airspace is covered by two radar sites, one located here at Gellibrand Hill (Melbourne Approach) and one located at Mount Macedon (Melbourne Regional).

Gellibrand Hill has both Primary Surveillance Radar (PSR) and Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) units. The PSR has a range of 50 nm whilst the SSR has a range of 255 nm.
In the last year, a new Mode S radar has replaced the 15-year-old system and significantly enhances the ability of air traffic controllers to monitor aircraft in all weather conditions. The Mode S (selective) capable Monopulse Secondary Surveillance Radar has a range of up to 256nm, and allows selective interrogation of individual aircraft and offers the ability to receive Down-linked Aircraft Parameter (DAP) data.

What you are looking for however is a little lower and closer.
