The only explosives reserve in NSW sits in a bushfire-prone paddock in the state’s Central West. The Bogan Gate Explosives Reserve (BGER) hosts three businesses: a fireworks producer and two mining explosives manufacturers that produce the explosive compound ammonium nitrate emulsion. The site was an army base from 1942, and there may be still unexploded munitions buried there. It’s why some locals are anxious they’re not being told enough about the risks the site poses to them.
If you find anything that appears to be an explosive device, do not touch it, leave it where it is and call the police. We will contact the appropriate agencies to properly dispose of the item.
