Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Bill Richards, who notes that Ozy Radio is now broadcasting on 4,835 kHz. Bill also shares the following recording:

Shortwave Australia [formally ABC Radio Australia] is back on 4835 KHz and also on 2130 KHz in the evenings broadcasting from Bendigo Victoria Australia. Broadcasts start at 1500 hours Australia eastern time (0500 GMT). Radio started broadcasting on about 6 July 2022. Great station.
On 05/31/20 @ 0343 UTC station 4.835 was heard from the Dallas, Texas area. Being a new shortwave listener this is awesome!
Great to hear the station back up on 4.835. The ABC should never have closed the SW service, this is a breath of fresh air. Keep it up guys.
Its back as of August 28th
I have been hearing Ozy Radio on 4835 from Home QTH some mornings. Is the link on the web page above that goes to a gun related web site correct?

Sadly Ozy Radio has now gone dark along with the website.
I was fortunate enough to hear it sign off for the last time less than a fortnight ago when they played the old Radio Australia interval signal and then like Radio Australia it want QRT.
The only Shortwave broadcasts coming from Australia now is 4KZ on 5055 kHz.
Oh no! Did they announce that this was a permanent closure? Didn’t happen to get a recording did you?
