RAAF 52 Radar Station at Mutee Head was built during 1943, and its surviving radar tower and aerial is the only intact example of a World War II Air Warning radar tower on its original site in Queensland. The radar station ceased operations in September 1945 and in 1947 the abandoned camp buildings were offered as emergency accommodation to the Saibai Island people. The site at Mutee head is about 8kms west of Injinoo, or over 30km by road.

The radar structure, on top of the Mutee Head headland, comprises a 3.4 metre high tower; a turntable and spindle about 2.5 metres in height; and an aerial approximately 4.5 high and approximately 9.4 metres wide, making a total height of 10.4 metres. The Australian transportable (prefabricated) Air Warning (AW) radar tower is of bolted steel construction, and the aerial is a five bay Australian CHL/AW type constructed of angle steel fastened by bolts and plates.

Two circular machine gun pits are located near the base of the radar tower. Evidence of a camp area extends south of the radar tower for several hundred metres, including remnants of the kitchen fireplace, kitchen and mess slab and grease traps. The concrete base of a large (80,000 gallon) water tank is located about 300 metres south-east of the radar tower.
