Contact is a 2009 Australian documentary film that tells the story of 20 Martu people who in 1964 became the last people in the Great Sandy Desert to have come into contact with Europeans. In 1964 a Blue Streak test missile launched from Woomera by ELDO was expected to land in the Percival Lakes area of Western Australia an area traditionally belonging to the Martu. Two Native Welfare patrol officers Walter MacDougall and Terry Long were sent to the area to make sure it was uninhabited. When they arrived they located a group of 20 Martu women and children in the area. The group had never seen white skinned people before and upon seeing the patrol officers they wanted nothing to do with them and they ran away from them. Despite the presence of the Martu people in the area a missile was still fired from Woomera but it went far off course landing hundreds of miles away from the lakes.
