JAPANESE (SCRAPMETAL ) OLYMPICS STILL ON

Another Shipping Reporter Scoop

Australia may have decided  not to send a team to  the  Olympic  Games  originally  set  down for later this year , but it  is busily   processing  scrapmetal   for  Japan .The above photograph and the one below  show some of the  scrap  being  barged out of  Magnetic Island  for   Townsville .


 So far unnoticed by the mainland media is the  clearance of much old  earth  moving  equipment on   the    island   from    a  site through which a  fire raged  some months ago  , next to Gustav Creek , which flows into the  harbour .   It is not clear if the damaged  sportscar  on the side of the  road  will   be  shipped  off  the  island  to  Japan.
