The Western Australian Government and its agencies, instrumentalities and officers expressly disclaim all and any liability whether in contract or negligence and whether to a direct recipient of this information or any other person who may obtain or read it in respect of any damage or loss flowing therefrom whether direct or consequential . This dataset represents information gathered from interviews with Military and ex - Military personnel, war diaries and other sources to indicate areas that have been used by the Military and allied forces for training and testing purposes. Areas that have been subjected to hostile bombardment by the Japanese during WWII are also included in this dataset. These areas indicate either the gazetted extents of ranges or the believed extents of the range as determined from other sources. These ranges may contain pockets of military ammunition or explosive ordnance (UXO) which has failed to function as intended within them. The dataset was renamed from the WA UXO Register to clarify the identification of the areas as those used by the Military, allies and enemies for training and other purposes that may contain areas of UXO contamination.
