Bleached coral has been used on Magnetic Island, North Queensland, to build a variety of garden structures on and in which are placed plants, ornaments, butterflies , pieces of crockery .
At the rate mankind is cooking the Great Barrier Reef there is no fear of running out of bleached coral as a building material . Indeed , it would not be surprising if blocks of mined bleached coral are soon used to build skyscrapers along the entire east coast of Australia . In a Nordic twist to this exclusive post, one of Townsville's ghost fleet , the Singapore flagged vehicle carrier Viking Coral, capable of handling 4200 cars , is seen below slipping out of port , without the local media noticing, except for our S(h)ipping Reporter , the only one north of Coogee .
