1639z  308KHz  MK   Mackay, Queensland for 1,390kms 559 report.

Are NDBs being decommissioned in Australia as they are here in the States ?

Pinto Vortando: July 2016 some 156 NDB's were decommissioned in Australia, so very few left.  

Also New Zealand and Papua New Guinea have decommissioned some too. :)

Would be nice Pinto Vortando if you would put the distances achieved with your loggings, gives me an idea what you are experiencing propagation wise at your end. ???
