	Connie Sue Highway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Connie Sue Highway is an outback road which runs from Rawlinna on the Trans-Australian Railway to the Aboriginal community of Warburton on the Great Central Road.
		Approximately halfway along this route is Neale Junction, where the highway intersects with another outback road, the Anne Beadell Highway.
		The closest fuel available to Rawlinna is on the Eyre Highway more than 100km to the south at Caiguna or Cocklebiddy.

	List of highways in South Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		South Australia is distinctly divided into two main areas; the well watered and populated southeastern corner and the arid outback for the rest of the state.
		As a result, highways are concentrated mainly in the southeast.
		The Eyre Highway to Perth and Stuart Highway to Darwin are the only significant highways for the remaining part of the state.

	Len Beadell:
		ANNE BEADELL: It was love at first sight, I suppose, if there is such a thing.
		ANNE BEADELL: After Lennie died and we went back to Mount Beadell, one of the elders from Warburton said, "Well, if it wasn't for Lennie and the roads, we wouldn't be able to build our communities and move further out." And it was the road project that allowed them to extend.
		When the highways were named, it seemed appropriate to Lennie to call the Anne Beadell Highway after me because I had been with him on the recce.

	Emu Field - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Variously known as Emu Field, Emu Junction or Emu, it was the site of the Operation Totem series of nuclear tests, conducted by the British government in 1953.
		The site at Emu Field was considered too remote for future use, and the search for a more convenient location led to the survey of Maralinga, where a further series of atomic tests was conducted in 1956.
		There are now stone monuments at the ground-zero points, which can be visited by tourists, however it is still extremely remote (see Anne Beadell Highway).
