Which TV transmitter serves St Helens Park?

Free-to-air TV in St Helens Park comes from the Sydney main transmitter at Artarmon / Gore Hill / Willoughby, 48 km to the NE (bearing 46°). It broadcasts on VHF Band III (channels 6–12) channels 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, horizontally polarised. Pockets of St Helens Park shadowed from Sydney can use the Sydney South West translator (13.3 km WSW, UHF channels 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, H polarisation), which needs a UHF antenna pointed the other way, a common cause of "wrong antenna" reception faults after DIY installs.
