Glendambo 2 June 2006

Had another look around Woomera. It is a really eerie place – like a deserted Canberra after a bomb has gone off! There are rows of streets like a new estate, just waiting for houses to be built – only in this case the houses have been demolished. In the middle of the town is a shopping centre – with vacant shops – surrounded by empty car parks. For a town of 350 people, it has lots of facilities including a theatre, a very upmarket renovated 1960s hotel, 3 clubs and a golf course! Drove onto Glendambo for the night. This has two roadhouses and a pub. Went to the pub for a drink and talked to some other travellers about their experiences. There was a gigantic open fire place and they put small trees straight in! Nice and snug!
