Line of sight :-)

Yes, it's possible.  I live 18 km from Mount Lofty tower, and I'm
discussing with Internode the possibility of setting up a link.

I don't know details yet.  If I do it, I'll probably get Internode to
suggest the hardware.  Where are you planning to set up the link?  A
lot depends on the exact terrain.  Thinks like large surfaces of water
and proximity to the ground make a difference.
