DRAB , OMINOUS ARRIVAL

During  voting  in  Townsville   on May 18   the  above  Dutch  Vroon  cattleboat  GREYMAN  EXPRESS slid  into  port  without a mention . It proved  to be an omen  for  the  election outcome .  The  vessel made  news  in  Darwin in April  2016  when   it was   described  as  Australia's newest , most modern cattle carrier , flying the Singapore flag ,  about to  load  4000 head  for  Indonesia. In Townsville,  hardly any  vessel , part of the great  Ghost  Fleet ,  rates   media   coverage .
