SNARK HUNTING RESUMES

Thanks to  climate change,  there have been  sightings  of snarks -long thought  to  be  extinct - in  the  Coral  Sea  .

Several  have  reportedly  been   seen  splashing about off   Magnetic Island . As a   result ,Snark  Hunting , made popular by  that  weirdo   Lewis  Carroll ,  has  been  revived  , an  ancient  painting  of  snark  chasing shown  below.

Just  this  week a  snark expedition vessel  was   photographed  below  by our Shipping Reporter  in the Townsville Duck Pond . It shows an  alert  crewmember perched  on  the  bow   ready  to   jump  in  and capture   one  of  the   creatures  and  then  place it on public display  in the  city's Victory  in  the   Pacific  Fountain , which  often  runs dry , not far from  the  railway   station looking  glass  clock  permanently  stuck  on  11, baffling rabbits and  tourists .

A  Picnic Bay Jetty  fisherman renowned for  telling   wild  yarns,  today said  the  Magnetic Island  surrounding waters  used to contain  more   snarks than  plastic  shopping   bags. These  were  the boojum variety  of  snark , said to resemble   a cross between  hairy  lawyers and  penguins,    which  like   islands  filled  with  chasms  and  crags  and  no  underwater  art  with which to  become  entangled .
