Whilst this may not be the "official" start to the Gunbarrel Highway, it certainly leads you to that point.
There were three main reasons for the construction of the Gunbarrel Highway. The first was to provide access for a future meteorological station which was needed to forecast upper winds prior to the testing of atomic weapons in South Australia. The second was for instrumentation along the centre-line of fire for rockets launched from Woomera, and the third was to allow surveyors from the National Mapping Council to continue the geodesic survey of little known areas of outback Australia. A side benefit of the construction was the completion of the first east-west road link across the centre of Australia. You are looking for a magnetic nano.
