		Maralinga, South Australia in the remote western areas of South Australia was the home of the Maralinga Tjarutja, a southern Pitjantjatjara Indigenous Australian people.
		The Maralinga and Emu Field were the scene of UK nuclear testing and were contaminated with radioactive waste in the 1950s.
		Maralinga was surveyed by Len Beadell in the early 1950s, and followed the survey of the site called Emu Field, which was further north and which conducted the first two tests.

	Operation Buffalo – Colour Record, clip 1 (has teachers’ notes) - australian screen
		The fission bomb codenamed Marcoo, tested at Maralinga at 4.30 pm on 4 October 1956, was a ground-burst explosion.
		Maralinga was the site of a joint British and Australian nuclear testing facility in SA that operated between 1956 and 1963.
		Maralinga in western SA was selected as a test site because of its remoteness from population centres; however, it was inhabited by the Maralinga Tjarutja people, most of whom were relocated to the Yalata mission prior to testing.

		The Maralinga lands contained mythological sites of spiritual significance for their inhabitants, a significance which was at best only vaguely appreciated by white officials.
		During the 1950s, hundreds of former inhabitants of the Maralinga lands sought to reaffirm their threatened culture by travelling considerable distances from the Yalata area in order to attend ceremonial functions and to visit other Aboriginal groups.
		Years later, Aboriginal people from Western Australia would recall how they were directed away from Maralinga along a road which diverged from their standard water hole routes, and how some of their party died from lack of access to water.

	Maralinga - NEVER AGAIN on Stop the nuclear industry on 43 Things
		Maralinga is testimony to the radioactive racism inherent in the nuclear industry.
		In the 1950s, it is very likely that uranium mined in South Australia was sold to another country, and returned as bombs to be exploded on land not far from where it was extracted.
		Australia has three existing uranium mines; the Ranger Mine in the Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory, and the Beverley and Olympic Dam (Roxby Downs) mines in South Australia.

		Maralinga, an area of 3,200 square kilometres in South Australia’s desert Nullabor region, was occupied by the Maralinga Tjarutja Aboriginal tribe when it was leased to Britain in 1952.
		Maralinga was developed as the permanent proving ground site, following a request of the British in 1954 and, after its completion in 1956, was the location of all trials conducted in Australia.
		The Indigenous people of South Australia have finally been given compensation for the damage done to their lives and the decades of fighting have finally paid off, although it won’t ever alleviate the contamination.

		In 1993, I was appointed a member of the Maralinga Rehabilitation Technical Advisory Committee whose purpose was to advise the Minister on progress of the project, and a few months later, I was appointed the government's representative to oversee the whole project.
		The last phase of the Maralinga project was managed by a company with no nuclear expertise, reporting to a client similarly devoid of nuclear experiences, and in some cases, no technical knowledge.

	PEDRO JUAN CUBILLO v. COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA No. NG 571 of 1991 FED No. 1006/95 Tort - Negligence
		A village, known as the Maralinga Village, was built in proximity to a railway stop on the trans-Australia railway, known as Watson.
		It is Cubillo's case that he was wrongfully exposed to "alpha-emitters" during the course of his work at Maralinga, and that during the course of his work he either inhaled or ingested the alpha emitters with the result that he subsequently developed a renal cell carcinoma.
		It is plain that, however the applicant's case is put, he must establish on the balance of probabilities, that he was, during his work at Maralinga, exposed to the risk of inhaling or ingesting plutonium 239 in an amount sufficient to constitute a danger to his health.

	Australia weighs up the options on Maralinga - 24 November 1990 - New Scientist
		The fallout from Australia's latest report on the Maralinga nuclear test site in South Australia is not likely to reach Britain until early next year.
		But last week, Archie Barton, the administrator of the Maralinga Tjarutja, indicated their likely stance: either remove all contamination or clean it up as far as possible and pay the aborigines compensation for any remaining land that scientists say will be contamined for the next 24,000 years.
		The contamination that remains at Maralinga - and to a lesser extent at the nearby Emu site - was caused by the dispersal of plutonium during so-called 'minor' trials rather than the nine nuclear explosions.

	Maralinga
		Some Aborigines in South Australia were given one-way train tickets to Kalgoorlie; others were herded into a concentration camp at Yalata, a mission station 150km west of Ceduna; while others remained in the testing range (a fact known to the Australian government).
		A 1996 government report on the Maralinga clean-up said that The project is aimed at reducing Commonwealth liability arising from residual contamination.
		The ongoing scandals surrounding the Maralinga project are of interest to the vast majority of South Australians who are opposed to the federal government's plan to build a national radioactive waste dump in South Australia.

		A report into the five-year, $108 million clean-up of South Australia's Maralinga lands, poisoned by British atomic tests 50 years ago, has hailed the rehabilitation of the land a success, despite the failure of a key decontamination technique.
		Science Minister Peter McGauran yesterday told Federal Parliament he expected the 3200-square-kilometre parcel of prohibited land in South Australia's north-west would be handed back to the traditional owners, the Maralinga Tjarutja, this year.
		Maralinga Tjarutja administrator Archie Barton said the report was of great historical, environmental and technical importance to his people - some of whom witnessed the seven atomic explosions that took place between 1955 and 1963.

	British nuclear tests at Maralinga Information
		The Maralinga atomic weapons test site was set up on the Nullarbor Plain in South Australia during the early 1950s, as a joint test facility between the British and Australian governments.
		A year later the first atomic test on the Australian mainland was Totem 1 at Emu field on the 15th of October 1953 (10 kilotons) Totem 2 (8 kilotons) followed on the 27th of October.
		The McClelland Royal Commission into the tests delivered its report in late 1985, and found that significant radiation hazards still existed at many of the Maralinga test sites, particularly at Taranaki, where the Vixen B trials into the effects of burning plutonium had been carried out.
