On a lonely , deserted  beach in North Queensland , a shopping trolley with a pair of sandals  was photographed   up  against  a   tree.   A  check of  the water , the  foreshore  failed  to find any sign of  the owner . Abducted  by  an alien spaceship ? Taken  by a  croc ? Perhaps  the  possessions of  a  homeless   person  who  cannot  afford  accommodation under  ScoMo's  can do capitalism ?
The only sign of life was a tinny named Clam Hunter passing by at speed, obviously chasing a school of the fast swimming molluscs.
Not far away , there was another puzzling situation which involved the number 13 , regarded as unlucky by superstitiously inclined individuals . One day there was a strange object ,which could have been a birdbath in the shape of a boy with a dog at foot, outside a residence bearing the number 13 .
Days later, it had vanished . Spooky .
