Maralinga was an area in the Australian desert.

It was also home to the Maralinga Nuclear Weapons Test Site. In 1957, the United Kingdom detonated a hydrogen bomb there resulting in the area becoming radioactive.

The Seventh Doctor, Ace and the Counter-Measures group encountered the Markarians in Maralinga in 1967. (COMIC: Operation Volcano)
