"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) :-)
