Did you have a dosimeter on you during your tour to ensure you weren't over exposed? Did you require to shower for decontamination prior to leaving? If not, then his spiel of danger meant nothing. This is basic stuff you have to do when leaving contaminated areas like Chernobyl and even now, that requirement is less likely unless you go close to the damaged reactor.

Even a tour of Ranger Uranium Mine in non active areas you still wear a dosimeter.

Even processing mineral sands creates more radiation than that is detectable at Marlainga or the Monties.

Even the original Trinity site of the Manhattan Project is now decontaminated and a tourist attraction and as it is still part of a military test range has set open days.

the tour guide made sure none of us went into the fenced off dangerous areas........that is his job.......there are a lot of those up there regardless of what is being said here......many "no go areas"

I've passed through the area many times, most of our travels involve outback areas such as this.
