Australian World Heritage Site

A giant fossilised tooth from a prehistoric shark has gone missing from a supposedly secret location at a remote Australian World Heritage site, and wildlife officials want it back.

A huge cattle station that pours sediment into the Great Barrier Reef was bought today by the government as efforts are stepped up to help the World Heritage site bounce back from mass bleaching.

Australia released its long-term blueprint to save the Great Barrier Reef today, with Prime Minister Tony Abbott saying protecting the World Heritage site was a priority.
