In all the hype about the Adani Coal Carmichael bonanza/mirage in the past month , the fact that a Japanese sushi train disappeared -like a ghost train - in a major Townsville shopping centre went unnoticed by the mesmerised media . At Castle Town , the above honourable dragon graced the wall outside a sushi eatery right next to Westpac . Suddenly, like a deadly event on the Orient Express, the shutters went down , the train was shunted into a dark shed or sold to a Japanese scrapmetal dealer , and the dragon vanished , leaving behind an odd replacement sign , below, which appears to be for a new business , The Hole in the Chinese Wall Café .
In another Townsville silly season event , the authorities finally got their act together and have just started to try and refloat the grand old sailing vessel Defender which sank in Ross Creek in January
