MILITARY RETREAT ON TONSORIAL FRONT IN FAR NORTH

One of Australia's most interesting barber shops , packed  with a wide range  of militaria , is up for sale , minus  its fascinating  collection . Known  as  the Military BarberTownsville , it  goes back 70 years   and is  on the market for  $25,000 , ONO . Our  Shipping Reporter   had his  thinning  locks   cut there   over  the  years and   took photographs of the collection , which  included  what appeared to be  Portuguese  riot shields  used  in  East Timor .  Outside the  shop  was  a  large  wall  mural , below, reflecting  the strong American involvement  with  Townsville  during  WWll. 
     The  collection   has  been  taken away and  stored  in Townsville.
