    Thanks for pointing this show out. I’m interested in visiting the area but haven’t made it yet. I quite enjoyed the show

    Small rockets were fired through the blast smoke in a cross pattern to be able to monitor the distribution.

    That’s it. Maralinga program with series Land Rovers. ABC. 24/5/20  7.40 PM

    What are the stripes in video of atmospheric atomic bomb tests?

    If you watch videos of the blasts you’ll see a plethora of smoke trails running up from all directions.
    These enabled observers to track wind patterns and distribution of the fall out.

    On that note, the clouds of radioactive material travelled extensively across our country. Where I’m living, isn’t he generations present at the time of the test, there is an elevated level of cancers. I’ve often wondered if there is a correlation.

    They now don't allow private vehicles to drive anywhere, using a bus to transport everyone about which allows Robin to give a running commentary. Robin now only does tour duties, having stepped away from caretaker work.

    The one thing many don't make the correlation of is that Maralinga was to develop the payload.
    Woomera was to develop the delivery system.

    Two shows on Maralinga and now all these photos. You people are taunting me. We were supposed to be going there in August.

    Have enjoyed them all but, so keep them coming.
