I've just seen the main story in today's Advertiser, of the commercial spaceport trials to be conducted by NASA at Woomera/.

If you've followed the Halliburton's Adelaide link you'll know the possible uses I'd thought about for Woomera. When that plan for a reactor to be built there
hit the press it looked like nuclear fuelled space transport wasn't too
far off, and now a variant of Arthur C Clarke's noting of the
signifigance of the place ( in 1947) is today's big news. The head
of the company conducting the tests is today telling Adelaide that
""Woomera was chosen because it can be used for polar and equatorial
launches and because of its clean land areas." He should have credited
Arthur for originating the concept from which he's profiting.
