Escape from Woomera

"Escape from Woomera" refers to the 1950s incident where a group of young Indigenous Australians, detained at the Woomera Rocket Range (originally a missile testing site), attempted to escape their confinement. The event highlights the restrictions and injustices faced by Indigenous peoples during that era, including forced detention and the lack of autonomy. The story underscores broader issues of human rights and government policies toward Indigenous Australians, illustrating their struggles for freedom and recognition amid a backdrop of Cold War-era military development.
