I have just begun to read the 2017 book "Codebreakers: Inside the shadowy world of signals intelligence in Australia's two Bletchley Parks" by Craig Collie. I was interested to read that The Chalet was the site of a wireless intercept station tasked with the interception of Japanese radio traffic. Has this historic significance been recognised in any heritage documentation?
