Interview with Tom Gilling, Author of Project RAINFALL

Pine Gap is a top secret American spy base on Australian soil, but how much do we really know about it?

At the height of the Cold War the chief of one of Australia's spy agencies joined three CIA men at a remote site in Central Australia to toast the success of a top secret project known in US intelligence circles as RAINFALL.

Drawing on declassified documents in Australian and US archives, Tom Gilling's explosive new book tells, for the first time, the uncensored story of Australia's most secret place.
