woomera ground zero

ah i don't know. maybe youre right. but apparently it turned a large area of ground into glass from the heat. it sounded like something good to see

The first Bomb was set off in EMU a few hundred miles from Woomera, Woomera was the town set up for a rocket range by Len Beadell, purchase the CD The Shepparton Talk by Len it is a great Yarn.

Cheers Steve.

Hi there,
My Dad was at Maralinga and he told me about some bombs that were set off. However I believe there was a lot of radiation fallout from these tests. Take care. Well worth googling Maralinga.

Rgds

Yep Emu is the place, if you take a look at google you'll find heaps of info.

I have a DVD of the place as well as the paraphernalia still there incl control cables etc that a friend of mine made on hos most recent visit there.

Very interesting place that I am yet to visit

Maralinga. The last bomb was Taranaki.

Regards

Kim

Then another 7 or 8 off at Maralinga???

It would be nice to get permission for there. I would like to visit the Aboriginal Stonehenge.

Cheers

I'll second that Bonz, well done TC.

Now I'll have to dig out MY photo of MY Troopy under London Bridge. lol.

Gone Bush,

The trick is to get the last photo of London Bridge before it falls down. lol

What amazed me is how close the Totem 1 & 2 sites are to each other.
They let one bomb off then a couple of weeks later they did the other which must have meant that the bomb project people worked in a highly contaminated area when errecting the towers and setting up for the second blast.

Heres my picture of the Totem 1 Marker just to complete the pair.
