Woomera Village

Woomera Village

Woomera Village is situated in the south-east corner of the WPA and serves as the support and residential base for activities on the Range. No township existed before the establishment of the Range in 1947 and during a period of high activity in the 1960s, the town population peaked to over 6,000 people. Woomera Village was a restricted entry town, closed to the outside world for most of its life. The barrier fell in 1982 and today, Woomera is open to the public, welcoming a steady stream of Range users and tourists. Currently, Woomera has a population of approximately 200 people.
