General Note "In 1964, the eyes of the Australian nation were fixed on its Western Desert. The British and Australian governments were about to fire the controversial Blue Streak rockets across the inland. To the ministers in Canberra and London this was an ideal firing range: empty desert, a place they called the 'dump zone'. But to one seventeen-year-old girl and her family, it was home. "Cleared out" is the extraordinary story of the events of that winter." - Back cover.
