This year is the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the huge US military communications base at Pine Gap in central Australia. This base is only one of many US military installations on Australian soil which integrate Australia’s military into the USA global military network. Anti-war activists from all around the world converged in late September and early October in the town of Alice Springs for an anti-militarism conference. A series of events and actions against military sites occurred before and after this conference to highlight the reach of these military facilities.
