Overview extract: "In 1939, the Australian Government considered "that Australia was not open to the threat of invasion and that we only need prepare for sporadic raids". Accordingly a radar research and construction program was put in hand using British equipment as a basis. The secrecy of the work was extreme. The veil of secrecy has now been lifted and, in the following pages are the personal accounts of some of the men who served at the Wilsons Promontory radar station."
