Woomera (population 120)

So here I (John) am sitting in the camping ground listening to 107.3 FM Woomera and what a beautiful camping ground it is. White hard backed grit which we were shown to by the helpful Shane on his motor scooter.  Woomera is a desolate place no wonder it was chosen as a missile test range.

There was a strange bar at the camping ground where I (its Jeanette now) had several Bundaberg rums with Shane and the local electrician while their Shelia’s’ got getting dressed up as zombies for the big night of the year at the local pub in Woomera.  The rest of the bar patrons were part of the ‘grey nomads tribe’, that’s the retired white Aussies that head north for the winter, we feel really young!  There was something about Woomera that we couldn’t quite put our finger on, it’s like it was from a spooky movie we just can’t remember.....

We had a night in Port Augusta on the way to Woomera, one night in Woomera and we are now in Coober Pedy for a couple of nights.
