We are embracing retirement, and making the most of it.

We knew we were never going to sit still for long, so whilst we are happy and healthy we will be out and about seeing the world………… full time.

We are out of the fast lane and taking the slow road ahead

Woomera Blast Off!

Although Woomera is still an Air Force Base, it no longer tests missiles and sends satellites into space.  Base sector South, the village centre, has been opened to the public (tourists).


It is a manicured oasis in the middle of a flat dry treeless region that stretches for hours in every direction, the restricted access area is actually larger than England. It was a fascinating visit.

We had a great vantage point over Lake Hart where the missiles were launched


Missile Park in the village centre, including debris collected from Simpson Desert

The obvious choice for a  letter box


Only about a quarter of the original town is inhabited, with sections of suburban streets turned back to wasteland, but also have a bowling alley and cinema
Kangaroos feel at home too
