Totem and Ore is a book written by B Wongar in 2006. It is an A4 coffee table format book which has a number of photos which show the effect of the British nuclear testing on the aboriginal people of Australia during the 1950s and 60s. There is also a foreword which talks about the devastation of nuclear weapons in Australia and recent conflicts.

Summary

The photographs of Totem and Ore collection tell what it was like to be at the forefront of the tragedy.
