A fortnight after Little Darwin exclusively revealed that the Victory in the Pacific fountain in the Railway Oval was still being neglected , a discarded franger nearby, the unsightly object , apparently poked by a stick at some stage, was still there . And in the bottom chamber of the wonky fountain was a pamphlet with the message to get it ON ...a safe sex message , perhaps?
No - a guide to Townsville events during the month of June, sporting an ugly looking dog , together with sticks, leaves, a straw , etc. It is monotonous to repeat that the fountain is on Townsville's Civic Pride Trail , but it shows repeatedly that local authorities cannot get their act together and look after these sites .
On the same day , down at the Anzac Memorial Park , the fountain commemorating the centenary of Queensland breaking away from the convict colony of New South Wales ,which over the weekend had been included in the interesting Heritage Day event , was not working , the water slimy looking , a plastic bottle floating , pieces of nearby trees on the bottom , missing tiles in places. Leaves scatted all the way to and around the Battle for the Coral Sea memorial .
