Townsville media carried reports warning that high tides would lead to flooding of low parts of the city . However, it seems nobody picked up the fact that due to the high water the opportunity was taken to float an old Queenslander style house in two pieces across from the mainland to Magnetic Island to the Horseshoe Bay beach by barge , then move it to a site in Gifford Street . A limping waterfront informant told our reporter the event was covered by and / or involved a drone . Talking of drones , an example of island enterprise, if true , indicates arrival , at long last , of the ScoMo version of the Cargo Cult - goodies delivered from the sky as in WWll , Maccas flown in from the mainland via drone .
