The main road leading to the Olympic Dam uranium mine has reopened after a day-long blockade by anti-nuclear activists in South Australia's north.
On Sunday morning the Lizard Bites Back activists lit a bonfire and blocked the road but were stopped from taking large props - including a block of fake uranium - onto the bitumen, prompting a clash with police.
The fire was extinguished late on Sunday night and police said the road was reopened early on Monday after protesters returned to their nearby campsite.
Some minor damage was caused to the road.Sunday's action was part of a three-day protest, which began on Friday, at the mine.
