Hitting a rock with a lawn mower might create some cringing, and an old plastic bag a lot of swearing as you extract disintegrating shreds of it from around the blades. But high on the list of things you definitely do not want to accidentally run over would be a 76-mm High Explosive Projectile – in other words, an anti-tank shell fired from Allied guns towards the end of World War II.Just such a formidable weapon was discovered clearing works at the West Majura Grasslands Reserve, formerly a test site for the Australian Army.
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.
