I have heard but unable substantiate that the us has a base underground at the Olympic dam mine,(Woomera close by) anyone else heard similar?

For underground shelter, check with parents or grandparents who were living at the time of WWII and see if they can remember the locations of air raid shelters.

as far as i know, there are several bases in WA. theres one near albany.

there is also one somewhere in the blue montains, west of sydney, and maybe a couple in queensland. and of course the underwater base 'in' victoria. theres probably more too, these are just the ones i can think of off the top of my head.

i travel to roxby downs a couple times a year. and woomera is home to alot of government testing. there is a huge camp at woomera where they placed all the refugees. the road just beside the camp leads to a military base. but you cant go too far along that road. if i travelled there alone i would have made sure i didnt leave till i found something. but i travel with work and most of the time have to just drive on past. locals always talk about seeing things in the skies over this area. i dont know about there being an undergound base because the area is not too far above sea level.(dont know an exact meterage abOve sea level) though it is 5hrs inland.
on the way to pimba/woomera you also see a huge white dome satellite communication building off in the distance. i would really loved to have gone close to all of these so i could tell you guys more. but thats as far as i have got.

olympic dam has the biggest gold deposit and the biggest uranium deposit in the entire world. just a little fact for you. until they find the next biggest i guess

al i know is if i need to im straight to my local mine and hiding my family ther if things come to pass. within the next year they are planning on cadia being the largest mine in the country. yes bigger than kalgoorlie

Maybe when all the construction goes on in and around any major capital cities, an infrastructure could be put in that is unknown to the public. Any thoughts? Im sure, as Brinty says, the bunkers and shelters built for wartime were not advertised until the need arose, yet they were ready when needed.

Over to you.

Cheers
