FLOATING ODE TO A MAORI TREE

S(h)ipping  Reporter   launches  another Townsville  Ghost  Fleet  report.

Puff of  wind  in   media  waterfront  doldrums .

The  wind turbine components arrival in port actually got  a mention in the  various  similar  news outlets.  Must have been a  hand out  which prompted the  coverage , the Townsville Bulletin  giving  it front page  treatment, a two page spread  inside , plus a  cartoon   with  the  message  that the turbines -renewables - are  a  good, not ill , wind for  the North .
 
Victory  in  the  Pacific  Memorial  Fountain neglect.
 
Still broken glass behind  the structure , more rubbish floating about in the  fountain . Empty bottles  up  high  in  the frame of the nearby bus shelter , increasing graffiti .
 
Portuguese  Flora  Delmas  lashed  down.
