During the visit to Woomera, I was able to visit the site of the original WRESAT launches. WRESAT was the first nominally Australian satellite launched from Australia. During that period, there were a set of joint Anglo-Australia launches, but for WRESAT, the Australians basically "did their own thing" with the UK providing the money.

For more details, see the Wresat page at Mark T Rigby's Woomera on the Web Site

Its been pulled down, but the site still has a feel, of great things which have since past.

A cable tunnel, leading to the launch site.
