Belgium's only substantial population of adders is on military land.

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
