Another Shipping Reporter Sensational Scoop
Without the Townsville media and Townsville City Council noticing , billionaire Clive Palmer seems to have opened a mine right next to the fine three storey heritage listed building overlooking Ross Creek in the nightclub precinct which he recently bought for $780,000. At the time of purchase at auction , he intimated it would be used in his mining company's ventures and as a Rolls-Royce tune up garage .

Our waterfront scribe was reliably informed by a rowdy leprechaun late one night in a bar at nearby Molly Malone's Irish Pub that the mine shaft is designed to surface at the council building in Walker Street . This undermining will , of course, be a shock to the city fathers and nursing mothers. Our reporter said Palmer is supervising the dig while also playing a large part in selecting deckchairs for his Titanic replica project .
Townsville reporters also failed to notice that Clive appears to have rearranged the curtains on the 1892 Queensland Building , according to the Shipping Reporter, who never misses a trick , a great yarn and has never lost a pub arm wrestle with a leprechaun . He noticed that curtains around the ground floor windows of the building , which had been bunched in the middle , were fully extended .This, no doubt, had been done to stop the public from seeing miners scrubbing up after a shift at the coal face.
