Locality: Malbunka copper Mine, Western Aranda, Ltalaltuma, Australia
Description: PHOTO 1. We do not usually leave our personal tent in such a mess. My mining clothes are so crappy that only one new mining shirt was stolen. Definitely not miners as they left Maureen’s helmet and lamp in the tent. If the thieves were so hard up for bedding we would have gifted or bought them bedding and food etc as the cost of delay to the mining operation is higher than the value of the stolen camp gear. They stole a pillow I hated. Bless them!
