From the mid-1950s until the mid-1960s, the British Government tested nuclear bombs at a remote location in South Australia's Great Victoria Desert. All the testing was conducted in the utmost secrecy, with almost no-one being told what was going on, or the long term effects.

This location was called - Maralinga.

We depart from Ceduna and fly over the testing grounds before landing at Maralinga Airport. We then join a guided bus tour to explore the testing grounds and Maralinga Village.

A picnic lunch is included.

The afternoon flight is over the Great Victoria Desert to return to Ceduna.

This is your opportunity to visit Ground Zero, and learn first-hand from local guides what actually happened at Maralinga.
