Summary note
Frank Clune decides to join the (1950s) uranium rush in Australia's Northern Territory, leaving Sydney in a Jeep, with a geologist and geiger counter. While the geologist prospected, Clune met and talked with many 'characters' along the way. Did they find uranium? Yes, but someone found it before them - but they pegged a lease anyway.
