The British Guy trucks were rugged featuring 4-cylinder engines fitted with a detachable cylinder head and 4-speed gearbox and fitted with caterpillar tracks. The half-tracks were prone to serious wear in the desert sand eating through bushings and selals and slowed them down quite a bit. They followed Sturt Creek past Lake Stretch Billiluna Homestead and onto Gregoryâ€™s Salt Sea Lake Gregory and then the little used Canning Stock Route to Well 48.

Rehabilitation of Former Nuclear Test Sites at Emu and Maralinga Australia; Report by the Maralinga Rehabilitation Technical Advisory Committee

200379858Canberra: Australia Commonwealth Government Department of Education Science and Training 2003. Presumed First Edition First printing. Trade paperback. Good. li 1 403 1 pages. Maps. Illustrations photographs figures tables--some in color. References. Glossary. The referenced CD at the back of the volume is NOT PRESENT. From 1952 to 1963 the British government with the permission of the Australian government conducted a series of nuclear weapons development tests in Australia. The testing occurred at Maralinga; Montebello Islands and Emu Field. The tests included major trials described as detonation of nuclear devices and minor trials were investigating the performance of various components of a nuclear device. In total 12 atomic detonations of nuclear devices occurred. This included: three at the Montebello Islands; two at Emu fields; and seven at Maralinga. These atomic detonations dispersed radioactive material into the environment. At Maralinga and Emu the nuclear devices were detonated from ground level and at higher altitudes. The resulting radioactivity has decayed to levels where the radiation dose contribution is indistinguishable from that of natural radiation background levels. The minor trials consisted of investigating the performance of components and safety of the nuclear devices. At Emu Field minor trials involved the testing and experimentation of various radioactive materials an essential process in nuclear weapon detonation. At Maralinga the minor trials resulted in the burning and explosive dispersal of radioactive materials some with long half-lives using conventional high explosives. The radioactive contamination occurred over smaller areas but at higher levels when the radioactive materials settled on the ground surface. A royal commission into British nuclear tests in Australia found that significant radiological hazards remained at many of the Maralinga test sites. A rehabilitation project was successfully implemented between 1995 and 2000 to rehabilitate the former nuclear test sites at Maralinga. In 2009 the test site land was returned to traditional owners. The Rehabilitation of Former Nuclear Test Sites at Emu and Maralinga Australia 2003 Report-also known as the MARTAC report-contains a brief history of Maralinga and a thorough report on the Maralinga Rehabilitation Project. Chapters 1 to 3 covers the: site's characteristics especially the aspects that influenced the nature of the contamination safety of the remedial measures permanency of solutions parameters of an Aboriginal outstation lifestyle extent and nature of the contamination at the start of the program UK testing program financial administrative and organizational arrangements that allowed the project to be implemented on behalf of the Commonwealth Chapters 3 to 5 describe the: work that was planned how it was done and its outcomes and occupational and public health consequences comparisons between the corrective measures applied and the scope of work outcomes achieved of the rehabilitation program focusing on quality assurance Chapter 6 includes: discussion of land and environment management issues that the new owners and occupiers of the Maralinga Lands must address experiences to be drawn from the project.

[Adelaide]. STUMP, Alfred, and CompanyBiblio.com

Four original albumen paper photographs mounted on one sheet of card from a loose-leaf album. They are numbered and captioned on the mount - No. 10: General Post Office. No. 12: King William St. No. 14: King William St. No. 16: Rundle St

105523The gloss-paper prints are each approximately 150 × 200 mm. The three streetscapes have the title and studio credited in the negative. The first two items are slightly foxed and there is a tiny hole in the sky in the first one; the gloss surface is lightly scuffed; overall the condition is very good. According to information supplied by the family see State Library of South Australia B 71188/2 Hobart-born Alfred Augustus Stump trained as a photographer under J.W. Beattie before moving to Adelaide and setting up his own studio. Davies and Stanbury list Stump and Co. at various addresses in King William Street and Rundle Street in the city from 1888. A short paragraph in the 'Narracoorte Herald' on Friday 13 July 1894 contains the following: 'A fire occurred in the premises of Messrs. Stump and Co.'s photographic studio Hindley-street at 4 o'clock on Wednesday morning. The place was completely gutted nearly everything being destroyed'. The studio was in fact at 35A King William Street on the northern corner with Hindley Street. These photographs come from an incomplete and damaged loose-leaf album purchased at auction in Adelaide in August 1971: the purchaser pencilled in 'supposed to be c.1890'. The album has the appearance of a studio stock book with numbers on the captions of the remaining plates ranging from 10 to 218. One of the photographs Number 179 showed the studio at 35A King William Street presumably taken some time between its establishment in 1892 and the fire in July 1894 giving the supposed date of the album some basis in fact. unknown
