Australia Australia (SA) Trisha Graf, 41, Missing from Andamooka since 12 Dec 2025

Roxby Downs is the FIFO (fly in, fly out) town for Olympic Dam mining workers. Some miners and their families also live there. BHP built the town. It was a planned town, and is well maintained for the mining workers.

Andamooka is a little outback opal mining town of a couple of hundred people that somehow survives.

imo

dbm just looked up--BHP, huge multinational.

I hope she’s found soon - im just catching up on this thread and it seems LE were pretty slow to take this case seriously.

PS - Thank you to the Australian posters who clarified what thongs were.. over in the UK they are a type of pretty skimpy underwear!

was it the passenger side that was clicked in? I always do that, so my dog does not continue to sound the alarm.

Yes, apparently the passenger side seatbelt was clicked in.
I believe Trisha and her friend had travelled in the car together so presumably the passenger seat had been used recently.

Not sure if the alleged kangaroo damage to the front passenger side may have had any bearing on the usability of the front passenger seat or affected the seat belt alarm sensor in some way necessitating the reason for having the seatbelt clicked in?

Is it known where in the car and near the car the thongs were found? Driver side or passenger side?

No, it doesn't say anything more about the position of the thongs.

I travelled in Greece with some Australians and some Brits long ago.... we all got our laughs over thongs.
