Curiously the standard work on all things Woomera Peter Morton's 'Fire across the Desert' 1989 and later reprints fails to mention the Woomera Welfare Club at least we have failed to find mention of it either in the index or the section on 'Clubs Societies and the Churches'. Fortunately an article in the Adelaide newspaper 'The Mail' 13 January 1951 goes into some detail about its early history not least that the decision to form Woomera Welfare Club Incorporated was made in April 1948. Hugh Wallis Martin of Adelaide is recorded as 'Solicitor for the said club' at the foot of the front cover. Woomera Welfare Club (printed in Whyalla by the 'Whyalla News') paperback
