Emu Field, also known as Emu Junction, is a historic site in South Australia's Great Victoria Desert, notable for hosting Operation Totem, a pair of British nuclear tests in October 1953. The area features stone monuments marking the ground-zero points, accessible to tourists with prior approval from the RAAF Woomera Test Range. Visitors can observe remnants of the explosions, such as vitrified sand and concentric blast rings, offering a glimpse into Australia's nuclear testing history. The site remains remote, accessible via the Anne Beadell Highway.
