The Woomerang Launch Site is a new site added in the Making History expansion, and perhaps the 4th spaceport on Kerbin. It is situated at a high latitude (approximately 45 degrees north) peninsula, to provide additional variety and challenge for missions. The site is currently extremely austere, consisting solely of a launch pad. The surrounding environment is moderately sloped, and surrounded by mountains (and more distantly ocean).
Buildings
The site consists solely of a launch pad/ramp, which counts as its own biome, and a water tower. The launch pad biome is seperate from the KSC and Dessert launch pads. The nearest tracking station is Nye Island, some 475 km away.
Launching from Woomerang
You can only launch from Woomerang if you enable Allow other Launchsites in the Difficulty Settings. When enabled you can launch a rocket from the VAB via the dropdown menu under the Launch button. When you hover over it, a menu appears with available launch sites. Select the arrow next to Woomerang Launch Site to launch from there.
Trivia
Woomerang is likely a reference to the [Woomera Range Complex]
