Kutini-Payamu National Park, Australia

Form destroying nuclear tests have destroyed even some national parks, one of them is Kutini-Payamu National Park situated in Australia. The largest part of its territory is covered with pathless rainforests. The whole area of the national park is 346 square kilometres. During the Second World War at the territory of the park was placed a military air base. In the 1960s there were held top-secret tests of the nuclear bomb.

According to unofficial data, there were held tests with the participation of the American, Britain and Australian military forces. For the wide audience, it was said that these tests were made with a usual bomb that imitates the nuclear explosion. These tests were held in a park not accidently, they wanted to know how the nuclear exposure will reflect the tropical forest. However, the Australian woman Mari Strain claimed that official data wasn’t a real one.

Her father was a military man and took part in the secret experiment. When the operation has finished he was honoured but within several years the man died at the age of 45 from a number of cancers. As many years ago, the main value of the park are the rare types of birds. No one researching work was made to see the radioactive background in the park. It is quite impossible to control how the exposure echoed on nature and forest inhabitants. Today the park is open for visitors. Researchers and tourists from the whole world like to visit it.
