This week, Simon and Andrew are joined by Paul Grace, author of Operation Hurricane: the story of Britain's first atomic test in Australia and the legacy that remains, the fascinating story behind Australia’s first nuclear weapons test.

Paul takes us on a captivating journey through the dramatic events of 1952, when the British detonated a nuclear bomb off the Montebello Islands on Western Australia’s north coast. Through meticulous research and a deep personal connection, Paul brings this complex slice of history vividly to life - uncovering both the human stories and the lasting legacy of those tests.

It’s a conversation that’s as warm and engaging as it is thought-provoking, with Paul’s passion and curiosity shining through every moment. A remarkable story, beautifully told, and a chat you won’t want to miss.

Paul recently appeared at the Totally Lit Festival in Fremantle, WA, for which Vision Australia Radio was a proud media partner.
