Note the 70th Commemoration of the first British A-Bomb Test on mainland
Australia at Emu Field is coming up on 15th Oct,

"Call to clean-up Emu Field Atomic Test Site 70 years after the Black Mist"
Briefer by Independent Environment Campaigner David Noonan (12 Sept 2023)
Sub-Heading:
ALP adopts policy on A-Bomb Tests to assist affected communities and
remediate impacts.

imbedded links for reading on-line)
