- Go to He's hard to get started, but when Bluey starts talking...
That was actually a scary tale to read, because I'm sure such places are no longer unique! Gotta love living in the "atomic age!"

A very good read Kabu. I had no idea that they tested nukes down there. Once when driving near the Utah Arizona boarder I saw this huge red cloud and had no idea what it was until it covered over me and the road and the rest of the world. It was a dust storm, it was amazing. All signs of life were gone and only miles and miles of red sand were left. If not for the road side poles to show the snow plows where to go I would have had no idea where the road was.

A lot of history here that I enjoyed reading. I'm glad that I never came across the wrong end of a woomera.

Pat has already said what I would have said, though she said it better than I would have said it, so I ain't gonna say more than second her and say, "Write on! We want more of Bluey!"

Woomera, even then they were detailed enough with their weaponry. Write on Kabu.

I've never read a more concise or human description of
the history of a place, the destruction of aboriginal people and habitat by an ignorant or uncaring power. The detail of the dust alone, blowing in its timeless way, carrying new death is an indictment. 
Write on!

A sad thing well told. It's a tragedy to have lost the people though

Tell it as it is Kabu I only hope that in one little corner there is a nucleus of these fascinating people oblivious to the horrors that beset their Kin. Thank you for bringing them to life in such an interesting way
