2CA is in Canberra and began broadcasting in 1931, well before the Beehive was released. Not sure about the other stations but Wikipedia has info on many of them. ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ A valve a day keeps the transistor away...

2CA & 2CY are both Canberra stations. 2CA commenced service on 14/11/1931 & 2CY on 23/12/1938. Being ACT stations for some reason or another could explain their absence on the dial. 5DR is a Darwin station and it opened on 12/3/1947. It was later renamed 8DR. 4QL, Longreach QLD, opened on 7/5/1947. The other SA stations I cant find any information.
