Hi All

We all know of our regular Sunday History Photo stories posted by our member Doug T from Mt Bundy Station. Doug sadly reported the tragic death of 17 year old Ben Witham who died in an Adelaide Hospital from arsenic poisoning.

I have just heard on the ABC Radio this story:

I hope you are well Doug and like everyone here on the forum, with you all the best and all others up there from Mt Bundy.

All the best Doug

Stephen

That story goes into a bit more detail than what I heard on Macca this morning. Our thoughts are with all those effected from these events. Bob

Hi Bob

I was just sitting back listening to the ABC News and the moment that they mentioned Mt Bundy Station, I immediately though of Doug and the tragic of that young stockman.

Cheers

Hi Stephen. As a family who have just been through the 21st anniversary of loosing our son I can only empathise with Ben's family and friends. I hope, with the support of good people such as Doug, that they can work through their loss and hopefully gain some sort of purpose from it. Our sincere condolences to all family and friends of Ben. Bob, Marie and family.
