Description British atomic bomb tests on Monte Bello Islands, WA, October 1952. A map of Australia showing the Monte Bello Iislands and Rowley Shoals in relation to Woomera rocket range. At one time it was considered likely that rockets with atomic warheads would be fired from Woomera towards the Monte Bellos. Both the Monte Bellos and Rowley Shoals were declared a prohibited area by the Commonwealth Government. No one was allowed to approach the areas without official permission and aircraft were not permitted to fly near them.
