SBS Television Duration 52min DVD - 6SBKA Price $132 Welcome to Woomera This is a film about ordinary people in a small town caught up in big events. As Australia’s only purposebuilt defence village, Woomera has been famous for its rocket range, as home to Americans from the Nurrungar base and, most recently, for its controversial immigration reception and processing centre. But the centre has closed and the town is in danger of closing too.
