ISLAND LAGOON

Island Lagoon, South Australia, is a small, remote locality located approximately 20 kilometers northeast of Woomera, within the Woomera Prohibited Area. Known for its unique natural features, the area is named after a large, ephemeral salt lake, which occasionally fills with water, creating a lagoon. Historically, Island Lagoon played a significant role in Australia's space exploration efforts, as it was home to a satellite tracking station in the 1960s. Today, the area is sparsely populated, with a focus on its natural environment and its historical connection to space technology. Its isolation and proximity to the Woomera rocket range make it a fascinating and unique part of South Australia.
