I was wondering if anyone can shed any light on what the buildings are at the center of this location? From memory it use to have large wire aerials or antennas strung between towers nearby that have since been removed.  It's very close to Christchurch airport so it may have had something to do with aircraft comms, or possibly operation deep freeze.  I'm just curious about this kind of stuff.

Finally found a pretty detailed and credible explanation what this facility was: http://www.navy-radio.com/commsta/nz.htm.  The 1994 report linked on the page has a lot more detail for anyone interested.
