There are puzzling reports that our waterfront roundsman , the only one north of Wooloomooloo, has been spotted drinking milkshakes !!! at this fine establishment at Picnic Bay, Magnetic Island.
Normally he is seen disporting himself in Townsville's nightclub precinct , often in Molly Malone's Irish Pub , not sipping cow juice from an animal that has been force- fed on four- leaf clovers.
It has been suggested the thirsty Shipping Reporter is actually checking out progress on the boutique brewery being built nearby .
He vehemently denies this slur , saying he is attracted by the unique Batuta Gallery in the same arcade , a must see island treasure which offers a staggering range of interesting items .
