No kidding, the mysterious disappearance of the above corroded, hard to read plaque , marking the 2013 opening of an unusual part of a Townsville park by the now Queensland Opposiion Leader, David " The Kid " Crisafulli, has raised the wild theory that it has been snatched by aliens from Planet Zog or succumbed to the dreaded Billy Bombax armpit devouring disease..
Last February this alert blog warned that Crisafulli's plaque, above, in the Anderson Botanic Gardens , was in danger of being unhinged and quoted a Townsville rust expert, Ned Ferrous, a major shareholder in A.G.Sims, that The Kid could be in for a fall.
Ferrous expressed the hope Crisafulli had not picked up or was a carrier of the terrible arborial disease which had reduced North Queenland's Giant of Sistainability, Billy Bombax , a nearby tree with human features, to a pile of sawdust, limb by limb..
Little Darwin was recently tipped off that the plaque, at the top, is in worse shape , Crisafulli's name hard to decipher., alarmingly like the onslaught of Bombax syndrome.
A few days later, the plaque had vanished without explanation, the local media not noticing .
