           Off again at 0930 and heading for Woomera. We came to Woomera last year on our Lake Eyre/Innamincka trip and the highlight is clearly the rocket park! Last time we spent an hour or so looking at the various remnants of British and Australian weapons and space research from the 50’s and 60’s. The museum is also worth a look as well. This time we walked from the caravan park to the rocket park for a quick Visit. Max enjoyed having his own camera this time to take his own photos!




  We didn’t stay in Woomera last time, so the caravan park is a new experience for us. It has motel style accommodation which is the apparently the old Officers Quarters from the Defence installation that was built here in the 1950’s! Quaint metal power points fit the period. We took a site in the park and it was nice enough, Clean facilities, although busier than I would have expected, with lots of Victorian numerplates around!
 
Just to prove this place is straight from the 1950's, the Original Metal Power points
