From 1956 until 1963, the British military tested nuclear bombs of varying sizes at a place called Maralinga. Located in the Great Victoria Desert, the testing program displaced the Indigenous owners, and was kept hidden from the Australian public. The effects have been long-lasting, and wide spread.
