The desertification around Lake Eyre, which had been gradually managed, brought bad news: the testing of new types of shells and bullets could no longer be conducted in the desert east of Lake Eyre.
This relatively small desert area had already undergone some environmental improvement, and the authorities had even started reforestation efforts there.
Conducting tests in such a location was clearly going to disrupt the work of the environmental management authorities.
After a brief discussion, Arthur decided to move the testing site to the desert north of Lake Eyre. After all, it was not too far away; a drive of just over two hours would get them there.
After some journey, everyone finally arrived at the desert in the north of Lake Eyre and officially began the testing phase for the shells and bullets.
It was clear they couldn't use real people for the tests, so they substituted with numerous plump cattle and sheep to simulate human bodies.
