In the years that Leon and Diane were caretakers at
Maralinga they spent a lot of time researching the history of both the
Maralinga bomb sites and Len Beadell's involvement with the site.
The intimate knowledge they have of the area is irreplaceable, but through politics of the site I fear this knowledge will be lost forever.
We were lucky to be shown by Leon, among other things, the air strip where Len Beadell had his supplies dropped and also a drum that had clearly been dropped from a Aircraft in that area.
Cheers
Graham
