Apart from noticing that Townsville's main public clocks in the CBD continue to tell different times which could cause you to run late for a very important date like the neurotic Alice in Wonderland rabbit , the streetscape in the Queen City of the North turns up other unusual sights. Recently spotted in the greenery along busy Ross River Road was the following sign for an important service .
While this typical Townsville thumb sucking kid looks happy enough , his poor parents, struggling to meet the torrent of bills and costs associated with sending children to school , are fearful that by sucking his warty digit he will require expensive dental treatment to straighten out his junior vampire fangs and cause them to sign up with a loan shark .
Another sign , not far away, highlights the fact that these are tough times in the short back and sides business , several such shops having closed causing many a T-shirted , mature bloke to get about looking like wise old Solomon before he was shorn .
