Table Tops was a free daily newspaper produced for Australian Army personnel, published in the Atherton Tableland Training Area in Queensland, Australia.  Regional editions were produced abroad for serving personnel. These were produced in camps, with mobile generators and truck-mounted printing equipment.  News was collected by listening to short-wave radio broadcasts from India, Hawaii, the BBC and Australia.  These regional editions were produced at places such as Morotai in the Maluku Islands, and in Balikpapan and Brunei in Borneo.  Thank you Wikipedia!
