Opal miners in Queensland, Australia are concerned about the future of their industry as the land they source the gemstones from is being converted into a national park. The Queensland government bought the land with a 21-million-Australian-dollar anonymous donation. For the past thirty years, Robbey Vinnicombe has been looking through red dirt in search of a rare treasure. A gemstone that can only be found in this remote part of Queensland: the Boulder Opal. “It's the most beautiful gemstone on earth. I'll be here for the rest of my life if I can,” says Vinnicombe. But Vinnicombe and many other miners who work here hold great concerns for the future of their industry. Vergemont, the former cattle station on which Vinnicombe holds mining leases, will soon be transformed into a national park. “There's dozens and dozens and dozens of stakeholders here that have been here a lifetime and generations, you know what I mean? And we're just completely ignored, as though we don't even exist,” says Vinnicombe. The state government argues they acquired the land to preserve crucial habitats for vulnerable and endangered species. “It's significant for the biodiversity that's in that part of the world,” says Geoff Penton of Desert Channels Queensland. Existing mining operations can carry on working in some of the property's locations but for miners with leases that are close to expiring, the future is less certain. The Queensland Department of Resources says it will work with the industry to help prospectors. “We're all small companies. We're family companies. We've invested our life in this,” explains miner and shop owner James Evert. Each year, the industry brings in 14 million Australian dollars to the area. “I can't see the Winton Shire without Opal in it. It's so important to us. What we need is certainty for this industry,” says Winton Mayor Cathy White. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

A life in the bush and in farming can be an education. But some skills and knowledge are learned. Others are just a 'gift'. Arthur Vinnicombe is a water diviner, helping farmers and rural landholders find precious water sources deep within the earth. He uses a piece of wire and his natural 'gift''. He's also pretty good at finding buried electrical and telephone lines! His connection to earth doesn't stop there. He's an avid bush seed collector and hopes to establish native gardens to preserve local plant species.
It's easier than you think
Ewan Vinnicombe is editor of Blue Peter. A lifelong fan of the show - and a proud recipient of one of its sought-after badges when he was just six years old - he started with the BBC aged 21 as a “tea boy for the Chuckle Brothers,” before moving on to entertainment development. He later became head of presentation, producing shows such as 'CBeebies Bedtime Stories' and the live links between programmes featuring children's favourite Hacker T Dog. In this in-depth interview, he takes us behind the scenes of the iconic show, pays homage to past presenters, reveals the recruitment process behind the on-screen current line-up – and discusses last year’s record-breaking 60th anniversary celebrations.
On the 17th June 1934 workers at Brighton Railway station were going about their usual duties. William Joseph Vinnicombe, in the process of his shift, noticed a terrible smell at the station. He did a quick search of the area of the station and discovered that the smell appeared to be emanating from the left luggage room. It seemed to be permeating throughout the station and Vinnicombe noticed there was a plywood trunk that had been left in the room. The trunk got his attention and the location of the trunk itself seemed to match up with the awful smell. Vinnicombe attempted to open the trunk to see what the foul smell was however he was unable to as it was locked. When the trunk was opened they would make a gruesome discovery. The dismembered torso of an unidentified woman. This discovery would lead to the discovery of a second trunk and ultimately a controversial trial that would cause uproar in the community.Important information provided by: http://swordandscale.com/the-brighton-trunk-murders/https://the-line-up.com/the-brighton-trunk-murders-of-1934http://www.mybrightonandhove.org.uk/page_id__6817.aspxhttps://www.crimeandinvestigation.co.uk/crime-files/brighton-trunk-murdershttp://www.oldpolicecellsmuseum.org.uk/content/history/sussex_murders/another-odious-smellhttps://elvirabarney.wordpress.com/2012/03/08/doctors-and-patients-1/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAP3m21ikXwFind us on Social Media:Twitter- @theunseenpodFacebook- The Unseen PodcastInstagram - TheUnseenPodWebsite www.TheUnseenPodcast.com
