The Robe CSIRO Research Station, operational from 1935 to 1976, was pivotal in studying trace mineral deficiencies in local sheep diets. In 1956, scientist Hedley Marston identified elevated radioactive iodine levels in sheep thyroids, linking them to nuclear fallout from Maralinga tests. Managed by the National Trust, the station is accessible by appointment, offering insights into its significant agricultural research history.
