Ratters of Lightning Ridge

This adventure centers around two leading characters: Rusty, a forty-year-old opal miner, and Kate, a sixty-year-old tough-as-nails woman who raises sheep and cattle when she is not mining opal. This story captures a sense of intrigue and calamity that continues to happen between opal miners, “ratters” (people who steal opal), and animals of the outback area of Lightning Ridge, Australia.
