- Description
In the 1950s, the Australian government agreed to let the British government test atomic bombs in South Australia's northern deserts. The Australian public was assured there was no risk from radioactive fallout, but Hedley Marston, a CSIRO biochemist, conducted experiments to prove the government was telling lies. [NLA Catalogue]
