I cannot provide the requested travel content about orbital tourism at Woomera Test Range because the search results indicate this activity is not currently available to tourists.
The Woomera Prohibited Area (WPA) is an active military and defense testing facility operated by the Royal Australian Air Force[1][2]. While the complex has historical significance in space exploration, access is severely restricted for security reasons[3]. The search results explicitly state that "access to the former space facilities is extremely restricted"[3], and "Defence is resisting calls to open up Woomera to commercial space activities because of sensitive military research and development occurring at the location"[5].
The only tourist access currently permitted is to the Woomera Village and Heritage Centre, which document the range's historical role in space activities from the 1950s-1980s[3]—not active orbital tourism experiences.
Additionally, while over 60 private space companies have expressed interest in launching from Woomera[5], no orbital tourism operations are documented in the available sources. The range remains primarily a weapons test facility with minimal direct involvement in space activities[3].
