"Codebreakers" by Craig Collie?
The front page blurb says "Inside the shadowy world of signals
intelligence in Australia's two Bletchley Parks". ISBN 9781743312100.
Why two facilities? Army and Navy - typical military NIH behaviour, and
as a result they weren't as effective as a joint facility could have been.
I was stunned to learn that we had our own Bletchley Park(s) :-)
