A moor we converted into a rocket range (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

woomera

'a rocket range' is the definition.
(I know that Woomera is a rocket range)

'a moor we converted' is the wordplay.
'converted' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'moor'+'we'='amoorwe'
'amoorwe' is an anagram of 'WOOMERA'.

'into' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for woomera that I've seen before include "Aborigine spear stick" , "spear-launcher" , "South Australian town" , "range of Australians" , "Aboriginal throwing stick; Australian rocket range" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
