Banjima Indigenous Elders have demanded the asbestos remains at Wittenoom Gorge in Western Australia be cleaned up.
The site used to be home to the Wittenoom mine which closed in 1966, however three million tonnes of asbestos tailings were left with negative effects on the local community.
The traditional owners, who have one of the highest mortality rates from mesothelioma of any group, anywhere in the world, are demanding the site be cleaned up.
