Description
Woomera
Author: Ivan Southall
Hardcover, good condition.
Woomera by Ivan Southall is a vivid and engaging account of life at the remote Australian rocket-testing range during the postwar years, blending reportage, personal observation, and human interest stories to illuminate a little-known chapter of national technological ambition. Southall captures both the harsh beauty of the desert environment and the excitement, uncertainty, and ingenuity surrounding the development of guided missiles and space-age research. Through portraits of the workers, scientists, and families who lived in this isolated community, the book presents Woomera as a place where grit, innovation, and the vastness of the outback converge in a uniquely Australian story of progress and perseverance.
