I wonder what could be found thriving on the Woomera Testing Range?  Looks like 
that covers quite a bit of SA...about 127,000 sq km according to wikipedia.

  Hello all,I've just come across this article, on inadvertent protection of 
  wildlife by the US defense force,
  
http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/462997/endangered-species-thrive-on-us-military-ranges
  I wondered if anyone knows if the Australian defense force has lands that 
  contain many threatened native species? I'm not sure of how much land the 
  defense force has or where it is located but I'm sure things are being 
  inadvertently protected to some degree within these lands. Townsville 
  defense land (which has similar signs to that in the story regarding lasers 
  and unexploded devices) has a Vulnerable lizard - stripe-tailed Delma (Delma 
  labialis) on it. I can only assume there are similar examples of birds?
  Cheers
  Gus
