Maralinga

Maralinga was a site in Australia's remote South Australian desert used by the British government for nuclear weapons testing from 1956 to 1963. The tests released radioactive material, contaminating the land and posing health risks to local Indigenous communities and the environment. Decades later, efforts have been made to clean up and repair the area. Maralinga remains a significant example of the environmental and social impacts of nuclear testing, highlighting the importance of safety, accountability, and respect for Indigenous land rights.
