NDB’s...... have they gone in Australia ?

About twenty years back I was on my way from Sydney to Townsville in a TB20 when just north of Brisbaine ( and having not much else to do ) I tuned the Bunderburg NDB as this was my next waypoint and about an hour and a half away.

To my complete surprise the ADF sprang into action pointing in the right direction with the morse ident loud & clear. Being more aquanted with the short range NDB,s in the U.K. I got out my copy of the Australian air pilot to discover the output of this NDB was 2000W !!........ I guess GPS has sent the NDB the same way as the radio range station.
