By the mid 1950s a town named Woomera had been created in the Australian Desert with a population of 7,000 at its peak. Women’s roles at Woomera were initially expected to be traditional – supportive wives and mothers. This paper focuses on women who undertook new roles operating the sophisticated Kine-theodolites that filmed and tracked the rocket firings and other women who assisted in the production and post- production processes. When the range was established at Woomera, the British and Australian governments were both fearful of the future. My research has found that the women working on the range did not share the fear of the perceived “communist menace” and a possible third World War. For them, many of whom were still in their teens, life was all about “having fun.” I have been fortunate to have tracked down and met some of the women who worked at Woomera in the 1950s-1970s and have also found film footage of them working on the Kine-cameras. My research is part of an Australian Research Council (ARC) discovery project auditing Australian produced “utilitarian” film from 1946-1980. The key investigators are Professor Ross Gibson (University of Canberra), Associate Professor Deane Williams (Monash University), and Professor Joe Masco at the University of Chicago and Associate Professor Mick Broderick at Murdoch.
