Location: Penong (SA)

Remarks: It was here visiting this house that Iris Dicks heard the third Maralinga atomic bomb blast. All the Aborigines came running in to the house, very frightened. The first bomb she heard at Fowlers Bay. She was sitting beside the window sewing when everything shook and the curtains blew in over her face. The second bomb she was at Coorabie.
