520			_a"We're looking for someone to start some sort of rocket range - or something." Len Beadell accepted the challenge in this casual remark and began his involvement in what was to become a multi-billion dollar weapons testing project in the Australian outback - on the Woomera Rocket Range. Beadell and his team built roads, laid out town sites and undertook an enormous survey programme in order to prepare a test launching area. The problems ranged from taking astrofixes in a cloudy sky and becoming surrounded by a sea of red mud to patching a bald spot on a pet joey. All were solved by using those two most necessary ingredients of life in the bush - ingenuity and imagination. Beadell's descriptions of the countryside, the adventures the team experienced, and the characters they encountered are by turns illuminating and hilarious.
