Toddler plays with bomb in backyard

Michelle Bates of Gargett, in the Pioneer Valley west of Mackay, had taken her son Liam to a waterhole on her property on Tuesday when she noticed him playing with a “suspicious” object.

“There was a bit of water in the gully and I had taken the kids down to have a bit of a splash,” she said today.
