Strange structure on the sunshine coast line?

Hi guys,
On the line to Frinton-on-Sea, not too far from the destination, you go past a field with what looks like a spiky flying saucer in it. It's to the right as you head towards Frinton.
Does anyone know what it is? Weather station? Satellite station? Alien base? You can just about make it out on google earth!

Can you find it on google maps and post a link?
I've had a look, but can't see anything.

Sorry, that would have been the sensible thing to do!

Does that link work? That's it, I'm pretty sure... it looks tiny on there but it looks bigger on the train going past!

That'll be the Clacton VOR (VHF Omni-directional Range Radio Beacon) A Navigation aid for aircraft.
