Place Comment: Emu Atomic Test - Camera C Site

No, That's not allowed these days. Robin did talk about Some ideas he has for escorting people on that road, but that is off in the future if it happens at all. I made a separate trip driving from Coober Pedy to Emu and back.

Hi Stephen,

Those Beadell plaques can be notorious to clearly photograph.
Here is an 'enhanced' copy of the Observatory Hill plaque.

Stephen is correct Candice. He and myself, and Allan B where guided personally by Robin back in 2013 to these sites and I have the same photos as Stephen as a result. I will make some admin changes to re position the photos that have been added in error by Candice (?) to these positions. This is why using our app (ExplorOz Traveller) to upload the photos is best - as it uses the GPS metatags in the image to correctly add the photos to the location - no human interpretation error possible.

POST EDIT: I have now removed the 2 pics of Dingo Claypan that had appeared in this Place listing for Camera Site C. I have checked Observation Hill and Dingo Claypan, all the photos are correct and they are ones taken by David and I when there with Stephen in 2013 being guided by Robin. If you open the map tab on this Place page you will see the position of this Place remains unchanged, it is correct.

Stephen, while I realise this is off topic, maybe a month or six weeks ago you mentioned a book about Len beadell by Ian Bayley. I have since purchased this book and read it. I can understand why it caused a few concerns in the beadell family.

Thanks for mentioning this book because I had never heard about it before.

Cheers Greg

Hi Greg

That great that you were able to get hold of that book, as it was at times a real eye opener.

If you are like me and like to read as much as you can on the Late Beadell ( I have very book that has been written about and by him) you may want to see if you can get hold of this book which is also a great read :

A Lifetime in the Bush

Cheers and thanks for taking the time to reply.


Regards


Stephen

Hi Michelle

Thanks for that and not sure how that would have happened.


Cheers

Stephen,
I think there has been some confusion. I have never been to Observatory Hill, that is the one well down the road From Emu to Maralinga. I was referring to Observation Hill.

BTW, the camera C site sign shown in your picture is no longer there...see below.

I had a paper copy of the map from Robin, but I passed it to some other folks who were visiting Emu. I'll get in touch with him and try to get a digital copy.

Michelle,

I don't think any Of the pics you removed were mine. But it's good you got everything cleaned up!

BTW, I did not go out to Dingo. Because I wasn't sure if that was included in my permit (I specified Coober Pedy to Emu and back). Or in my permission from Britz. :)

Also, I have the GPS in my cameras switched off. Primarily to conserve battery power.
