Woomera (22/11/11)

South of Lake Hart is Woomera, where we stopped for a look around.  We had only heard of Woomera because of the old Woomera Detention Centre.  We learnt that Woomera was originally set up in the 1940's as a site for the launching of British experimental rockets.  The town was opened to the public in 1982.  The Australian Defence Force still has a presence there today.  The kids loved seeing the old rockets and planes that are on display.
