Tools of the trade

Day three, and the tools of the trade arrive. See above, and don't forget that the brown patterned thing underneath all that stuff is a queen-sized bed.
For the detail and techno geeks out there, the standard (and yes, there are variants depending on your specific deployment) issue consists of (clockwise from centre):
- 3 plastic sleeves of stationery
- Panasonic Toughbook
- Telstra 3G modem (works great)
- Olympus waterproof digicam
- diary and first stack of paperwork
- Telstra 3G phone
- cables and chargers for everything
- second stack of paperwork
- reference folders (x3 - contain lego, policy, guidelines, etc.)
- Brother laser printer
- spare cartridge for said laser printer
- ream of A4 paper (x2)
- Iridium sat phone ($10.50 per minute - and you thought your phone was pricey)
- Apple 80gb iPod (backup to Toughbook and podcast updates)

Worse still is that what you're seeing is only a relatively small part of the overall kit. On top of all that, there's more paperwork, a huuuge first-aid kit and a 4WD to put it all in. And don't even ask about that because it has a spare for everything - including the spare.
