Maralinga Updates

Hi Baz

You will have a great time and see some great country, and what Robin does not know in the area is not worth knowing at all. With the rain that they have had up there, the Wildflowers should still be in bloom.

Once on the Anne Beadell, take your time, and you will be in for another great drive through to Laverton.

Enjoy your trip.


Cheers

A similar experience with our son TomO and his teachers, they can't believe where he has been and what he has done...

Hi Boobook

I feel it is the job of people like ourselves to promote just how unique a visit to Maralinga can be. As you and others would be aware, no single one visit to Maralinga can do the area justice, as there is just too much to see and.

It has been as long hard road for Robin to get the area opened up to tourists, and most people would not be aware of only a couple of people that tried to stop this venture in its tracks.

With the backing of both Aboriginal Elders, State and Federal Governments, it is now up to all travellers to give Robin a plug and to show those few people that tried to stop this enterprise that it should always remain open for all generations to see and hear what has been kept secret for far too long.

Now you know why we go back to Maralinga, promote the area and class Robin as a true friend who is always welcome to stay at our house, and not just another tourist operator that is only interested in making money from a job that he is not passionate about.

Its great that you really enjoyed your trip to Maralinga and pass on your thoughts to all your friends.


Regards

I have just found that " Related Article " link above , probably most of the info I want is in there but I would still like to hear more info from someone who has been there , if you can be bothered

Thanks Jacko

Hi Jacko

Robins tours are for the actual test sites, plus other point of interest in the area, eg Daisey Bates camp, Ooldea Soak, Watson Quarry and of course everything that Robin can show you in the Forward Area and beyond.

As a bare minimum, 2 - 3 days for the above, then there are lots of other things to see in the area. You will be based out of the old Maralinga Village and Robins takes you out from there. The Village has all facilities, from camping through to onsite donga's. There are a number of varied ways to get to Maralinga, depending on which way you are travelling.

As you have read above from those that have visited Maralinga, it is one place that you will go back to.



Cheers
