TOWNSVILLE CONTINUES SHAMEFUL NEGLECT OF WAR MEMORIALS

 
Nearly a fortnight after  Little  Darwin  reported that a large dead  bird was  up against  the  Victory in the Pacific  memorial  fountain , the   body   is  still in  the same  precinct  ,  not far from the bus shelter , below . Also in the   fountain is rubbish seen  weeks ago , along  with  some more .
At the  same  time  as  the obvious neglect of the  fountain and surrounds, on what is inappropriately named  the  Civic   Pride   Trail , leaves  were  building up along  part of  the  waterfront Coral  Sea Battle memorial in  Anzac Park  , below , which includes the names  of  Japanese  and Allied  vessels involved in the fierce battle .  Both these memorials are national shrines  and  deserve  daily attention.
 
 Anybody at home in the  Townsville City Council , RSL , Navy League , Australian War  Memorial , Townsville  Port Authority  , Townsville  Enterprise , political  circles and  local  media ?   More  on     Townsville   neglect  upcoming .
