REMAINS OF MYSTERIOUS SAINT FOUND ON ISLAND

There is  an outline of a  stickman  figure named  The Saint  near the  top of   Townsville's prominent feature, Castle Hill , caught short  by a  metre or two of being classified as a  mountain ,  with its  sweeping  scenic  views of sea , city  and countryside  .  The Saint ,  above,   was painted by  university students in 1962 . It  represents  the  Leslie Charteris created character ,  The Saint ,  made  into  a  popular crime  TV  series . In a proposed  ungodly act, the Townsville City Council  seriously  discussed  a  move  to  erase  The  Saint . 

 A Little Darwin Raiders of  the Lost Ark  Expedition   on  Magnetic Island  has found  another   faded   saint,  below ,  in  an isolated   rock art  gallery . The name  Jackson  is  visible in the same  colour - white- above the outline .  Other earlier names  and  possibly  a  date  are  obscured.
