Not only does Cairns , North Queensland, have a colony of photogenic Pelicans from Central Casting but a number of construction cranes in the city, one visible above in these photographs by Abra . Townsville is envious of Cairns having so many cranes , an indication of economic activity , and an economist from the Queen City of the North lamented that it does not have at least one crane . Perhaps a blow up crane from Cupid's Cabin would stimulate Townsville no end ?
