Notes:
It is unusual to find emergency military construction in which design has been adjusted to site rather than site to design. Extensive grading operations were avoided by stepping down the buildings as the land falls away to the water. The eucalyptus trees were retained for campuflage and amenity, and their tall shafts accentuated by the low-pitched toofs and the canopied walks which connect mess hall, administrative offices and infirmary."
