25.01.2022 News on lifting restrictions - https://mailchi.mp/beef202829a3/news-on-lifting-restrictions

23.01.2022 Have you been watching Operation Buffalo on ABC Australia? What about the documentary Maralinga Tjarutja? Operation Buffalo might be a dramatization, but Marali...nga’s history as a real-life site for nuclear bomb tests is exactly that real life. It’s an important and dark chapter in Australia’s history that has been relatively unknown but following the clean-up of the area completed in 2000, you can now visit the site which was off-limits for so many years following the tests. It's only accessible via tour Maralinga Tours in fact to which you need to pre-arrange an entry permit with your choice of tour. BOOK HERE: https://maralingatours.com.au/bookings/ Some interesting facts about the Maralinga airfield Up to 30 planes were using the strip each day during the Test series. It remains as an emergency strip for planes flying across Australia today and was registered as a suitable back-up, should the US Space Shuttle have needed it when operating!

22.01.2022 Not Nevada nor Khazakstan, those are Maralinga Mallee trees. The photo was supplied by Tom, who served at Maralinga in 1956/57. See: https://maralingatours.com.au/2020/08/toms-recollections/

12.01.2022 ABC News article

09.01.2022 So many stories

02.01.2022 In regards to the ABC article below. 1. Maralinga Tjarutja (MT) will look at the Monash University report and obtain its own scientific advice on it to see if it is saying anything new. MT has worked with the Commonwealth and MT's own scientific advisers for the past 35 years in relation to the Plutonium left at Maralinga by the British Minor Trials. We are aware of the risks posed by the particulate plutonium at the Maralinga site and have been heavily involved with Commonwe...alth rehabilitation measures that minimise those risks. 2. Dr Cook is correct when she says that a balance has been found between the risk and the environment at Maralinga in full consultation with the Maralinga People. However that balance has been achieved over 35 years of information sharing and negotiations between the Maralinga people and the Australian government - not with Dr Cook and her team, who have not talked to the Maralinga traditional owners. 3. Maralinga Tjarutja notes the comments of Corinna Lester from the APY Lands. Ms Lester is not a traditional owner of the Maralinga Lands and has been advised before that she does not speak for the Maralinga people.
