Nice video. Greetings from Pommy. Planning to visit Oz from the UK soon and hopefully include Woomera. Lots to see I know but why do you have to be such a bloody big country?
Hi. Hope you definitely make it here. Hmm, why such a big country? Well majority of it is because we love having open spaces and lots of stuff to explore. There's nothing like the feeling of being hundreds of kilometres from the nearest person, kind gives you a reality check on how small and insignificant you really are. Thanks for watching. I hope you have subscribed so you can check out all our adventures around the land down under.
@@OffTrackInOz awesome thanks. A mates uncle spent his career up there as an engineer. He had a lot stories ya tell us. A cop I used to know was stationed there before Vietnam when he was a soldier. Not many people mention it but those that have, have had some brilliant stories to tell.
On that note, the best story I’ve heard was from the captain of a u boat, translated by an Aussie in the eudunda rsl. Both men served in ww2 for different sides but both moved to eudunda after the war. Truly heart warming
@@nothinyaseehere9449 would love to sit down with some old diggers and just listen to there story maybe even share it with the world...that would be such a wonderful experience.
I worked in Woomera from 1965 til 67. I was part of a team providing Meteorological support for WRE. Plenty of action out there in those days.
It must have been pretty awesome to work there.
@@OffTrackInOz Yeah it was full on in those days. We had 14 staff.
awesome. Thank you for watching, hope you have subscribed so you can check out the rest of our trip around Oz.@@tonymccarthy6713

Go down ya local rsl on a Thursday or Friday there friendly as n love sharing the history from what I’ve found.
I understand Blue Steel was in squadron service with the RAF from 1963 to 1969 when Polaris took over the UK nuclear role.
When I was in the RAN I was responsible for one of those high-speed cameras used during missile launches.
That must have been awesome to experience
Australia's Area 51
Pretty much correct. There was a lot of secrecy behind the activities at woomera.
