Cleared Out: First Contact in the Western Desert

In 1964, a group of 20 Aboriginal women and children in the Western Desert made their first contact with European Australians - patrol officers from the Woomera Rocket Range, clearing an area into which rockets were to be fired. This book presents their story told through oral history, archival research, photographs, and film footage.
