VIC HOTEL WEBS OF INTRIGUE

There is an impediment to the reopening of the Victoria Hotel. Journos are free to follow up this news tip. Apart from that, at Little Darwin’s request , the new management cleaned the area around the memorial to aviation pioneers who stayed at the Vic Hotel. However, removing the spider webs and gecko droppings from within the showcase covering the scratched names and messages on the wall made by aviators is a real problem . It is a supposedly sealed showcase (nobody told the spiders and geckos ) and there seems to be no easy way to clean out the interior. Is this a job for the US Marines as it seems Darwin is not technically advanced enough to cope with this situation? Little Darwin’s repeated requests for action on this historical site fell on those obviously deaf government ears during the Henderson days . Perhaps the CLP could place it on the first 100 days action list?
