That’s it.
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.
Hi All,
I did a trip out to Maralinga with some AULRO folk in 2017 - an amazing place.. Here are just some of the pics..

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.
Cheers,
Jon
Maralinga by Alan Parkinson is an interesting read, it's about the clean up.
