A year after an unexploded high-tech missile was found in a South Australian heritage area featuring important rock art and artefacts, it has finally been removed:

A high-tech missile has been removed from an Aboriginal heritage site in remote South Australia this week following a joint investigation by SBS News and NITV.

Lake Hart West is about 40 kilometres from the small town of Woomera, which is home to one of the largest weapons ranges in the world. Lake Hart lies in a remote part of the South Australian desert; a glistening white salt lake that was briefly mined in the early 1900s. Surrounding it is a diverse ecosystem of creeks, valleys, sand dunes, claypans and sparse grasslands.Andrew Starkey said the missile had been found near Aboriginal artefacts and rock art.
