Someone set the explosives a touch to close to a sacred site.
A MINING company has been accused of deliberately desecrating an Aboriginal sacred site in central Australia by setting off an explosion that split the rocky outcrop containing the site in half.
In a case that, if proven, would represent the first time a mining company had been successfully prosecuted under Australian law for desecration, the Aboriginal Areas Protection Authority has laid two complaints against the minerals company OM Mining for alleged contraventions of the Northern Territory Aboriginal Sacred Sites Act.
The authority alleges that OM Mining was fully aware that a rocky outcrop containing a sacred site known as Two Women Sitting Down was unstable as a result of the company's mining activities at its Bootu Creek manganese mine on the Banka Banka cattle station, 170km north of Tennant Creek.
