Some controllers add radar lowest safe to the altitude
A mixed bag going into Townsville! Sometimes they tell you "Radar lowest safe" and sometimes they don't.

In the pre-GPS moving map days it did get your attention when cleared to descend below LSALT when you knew there was a big lump of granite not too far away.
