From Crystal Brook, I headed across to Port Augusta, then North up the Stuart Highway. This took me to a place called Woomera. Woomera has a rich history with the Australian defence department. It was declared a prohibited area in 1947. The Woomera Prohibited Area’s (WPA) size is 122188 km². The remote location made it an ideal test and evaluation site for Australia and its allies and partners. The WPA was established as a long-range weapons testing and evaluation of weapons systems facility. At present the RAAF are conducting weapons testing during September and at times the Stuart Highway is closed to the public. I was lucky to get through. But it is an interesting place to have a look around. It has a unique feel about it. Sort of like a military town in the middle of the desert. On leaving Woomera, a few more Emu’s decided to cross my path. After that I ended up in Glendambo for the night.
