Shipping Reporter rockets Townsville railway station , media ,war service organisations .
While regularly checking out the condition of Townsville's Victory in the Pacific fountain , our Shipping Reporter also inspects the nearby old railway building , its clock permanently stuck at 11 , and the ornate former ticket office with its WW1 railway honour board . In his latest scrutiny he found the ticket office is still being used to store traffic and pedestrian control items, which is an outrage . There used to be seats opposite the honour board ,covering l914 to l919 , presumably so that peple could sit down and examine the extensive list and the impressive surroundings , a tourist attraction and a war memorial which should be treated with respect , not used to store plastic bollards and witches hats.
