| Model of Rocket test facility at nearby Lake Hart |
The Rocket range is massive, about the size of England, and was a very busy place in the 50s and 60s.
Its a shame but now pretty much a ghost town with only about 20 Defense force personnel now stationed here.
Worth visiting is the museum and visitor information centre, where there is plenty of old technology to look at.
The Eldo Hotel is an incredible place, huge hotel, but while we were there, only the barman, a barfly, ourselves and a Kiwi couple in the whole place.
We had an enjoyable time with the Kiwis, and then walked home to the caravan park.
The town is a far cry from the old days, but well worth the visit.
