Prohibited area - Woomera, Australia (Cities in stone)
Military and research area in the desert that served as the base of NASA. For more information, see Wikipedia. One question: Why do they use similar areas for military and similar purposes? See also my video about Baikonur.
Woomera, South Australia - Video Learning - WizScience.com
Woomera is an outback town in the far north of South Australia established in 1947 with a population of 216 . It was established in 1947 as a Department of Defence rocket testing range.
Woomera Village has always been a Defence owned and operated facility. Since its construction over 1947-53, it has essentially operated as a 'township' but always under a Defence model rather than a local government model. The 'Woomera Board', staffed by members of the Defence community at Woomera 'elected' to the Board by town residents has essentially acted in the role normally provided by a local government council. However, the focus of the Board's activities today is really one of welfare for the small permanent community and the large number of transit Defence personnel who deploy to Woomera each year. The main operation of the Base is now co-managed by the RAAF's Combat Support Group and the Defence Support and Reform Group . CSG focus on the operational aspects of the base's role, while DSRG focuses on ensuring the base's facilities and general infrastructure remains fit for the purpose it is needed to support the Range's activities.
RAAF Base Woomera, and in particular, 'Woomera Village', lies in the extreme south-east corner of the Woomera Prohibited Area Z . The WPA essentially defines the ground area of the Woomera Range Complex, which, in simple terms, is itself situated in the north-west pastoral region of South Australia. The base lies within the bounds of the Woomera Prohibited Area with the northern sector located within the 'Red Zone' of the WPA, while the southern sector is located within a 'Green Zone' area of the WPA.

I did a short nursing contract for NASANSB in Woomera when I was living down in Adelaide. I went bowling alone and took pictures of the moon through a telescope.

Woomera cemetery with Avon Hudson speaking
The cemetery at Woomera, has too many graves for stillborn babies or children who died hours or days or months old. It is clear to me that this must be a result of contamination from the nuclear tests carried out at Maralinga in South Australia. This piece shows those graves, with a soundtrack by Avon Hudson describing the 'minor' nuclear tests at Maralinga and their impacts.

I'm a Woomerite
I created this for the upcoming Woomera Town Reunion on Saturday 9 Feb 2019 at the Hotel Grand Chancellor Adelaide, South Australia.
The challenge came across my desk for the upcoming Woomera town reunion ... come up with a song about Woomera based on Shotgun by George Ezra. I never heard of the guy or the song, but I took to the project; watched his video, then put on my thinking cap ...
Well, this video is my shot at this challenge. I had a lot of fun learning how to play the song Shotgun and then rolling up my sleeves to re-write the words. Finally, I made this video to put it all together. Virtually all the shots in the video are from the Woomera 70th Reunion 14-17 Apr 2017.
I finished the words on Tues 1 Jan 2019 and then recorded the song at the Crown Plaza Hotel room 5302 in Alice Springs. My wife won an overnight stay, and I used the room to record the song because I liked the acoustics.

Words by Dave Ives
I
West End on tap, cold draught
Gotta hit the pub, gotta hit to the pub
Koolymilka cold beer
Outback atmosphere
I can get used to this
Refrain:
Time slows down in Woomera Town
And, millions of flies, hanging all around
There’s a special at Spuds that I’m dreamin of
Wet my whistle, get a five dollar schnitzel.
Chorus:
Yes, I’m a Woomerite
Donga bash by moonlight
Down a jar of vegemite
Yes, I’m a Woomerite
Stronger than kryptonite
Hit every pub by midnight

Area administrator, talk to you later
Gotta hit the pub, gotta hit the pub
Eldo’s hoppin round the clock, disco dancing, never stops
Hey, I could get used to this!
