Default 1950s vehicle trials in Queensland, Aust.

The Emu atomic Bomb test in South Australia.. One Land Rover seen has 900-13 rims fitted.. these Bofors carriage rims were machined out to fit over the Land Rover hubs, the stud pattern is the same. I also spotted WW2 era RCA AR88 radio receivers in use. The short Morse message heard is: 'this morning 1200 hrs' took me a few listens to decipher it as there is a error.
