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.
