Flash Mob - Stockland Townsville 4 June 2011
On Saturday 4 June 2011 at Stockland Shopping Centre, Townsville, Queensland Australia, a flash mob performed If I Had a Hammer in front of an appreciative food court crowd.
The flash mob group is known as Seniors Creating Change. The performance is to raise awareness of elder abuse in the community, whatever its form, and to challenge negative stereotypes of senior Australians.
The performance is an initiative of the Seniors Legal and Support Service, which is a service at the Townsville Community Legal Service Inc. The flash mob performance was kindly supported by Stockland Townsville, ABC signs, and the Townsville City Council through the Regional Arts Development Fund.

Mt Isa to Townsville
“It feels good to be lost in the right direction.”
Mt Isa was fabulous – for one obvious reason – FAMILY! We absolutely loved every second of our stay, especially the hearty meals accompanied by quality refreshments and great yarns! We loved catching up with Michelle’s cousins and meeting their wives and children too, and we felt blessed that they were able to take out so much time from their busy schedules to spend time with us. Enough of the soppy stuff!
During our time in ‘The Isa’, we were lucky to see all the best bits thanks to our knowledgeable tour guide. We had a half day personalised city highlights tour that included a picnic lunch at Lake Moondarra, viewing some of the mining operations (from a distance), and darting up to the lookout to admire the magnificent 360-degree views of the city + more.
It is expected that every visitor to this great mining city MUST DO an underground mine tour, and who were we to argue? Although we weren’t allowed to take cameras or mobile phones on the tour, we were able to take a quick pic of us getting ready (check out the video to see the happy miners ready for action).
Throughout our 4-night stay in Mt Isa we had countless discussions and debates regarding which way we should travel for our homeward journey. Uncle Glenn was adamant that we should take the Landsborough Highway and see Winton and Longreach and he continually offered (without request) limitless reams of historical facts and regularly reminded us of the rich landscape and fantastic outback sites we would experience travelling this route. Michelle, on the other hand, had her heart set on heading across the rugged outback and making a bee-line for Queensland’s east coast to see beaches and sand. Luckily, Michael didn’t care which way we went, and fortunately lives by the proverb ‘Happy wife, happy life’ …. hence the decision was made for us to journey the scenic 911km of the Flinders Highway from Mt Isa to Townsville.
We stopped in the outback towns of Cloncurry, Julia Creek, Richmond, Hughenden and Charters Towers, then ended our adventures at Saunders Beach in Townsville (aahhh ….. a beach!)
Below is a summary of the 5 days we spent travelling the Flinders Highway and briefly features each of the quaint outback towns we visited.
CLONCURRY - Birthplace of the Royal Flying Doctor Service and the destination of the first QANTAS flight: Only enough time for a brief stop at the Mary Kathleen Memorial Park and nearby visitor information centre.
JULIA CREEK – The Friendly Town: We free camped on the banks of Julia Creek and spent hours roaming the Visitor Information Centre (fabulous). We even met a dunnart – a nocturnal, carnivorous marsupial (so cute!)
RICHMOND – Fossil Capital of Australia: We visited Lake Fred Tritton and investigated the nearby bush tucker garden before calling in to Kronosaurus Korner to organise our fossil hunting permit. We then gathered some appropriate digging tools and headed out to the dedicated fossil hunting sites to try to find a fossil of our own.
HUGHENDEN – Discover Dinosaurs: There was limited time available to explore Hughenden, so it was just a quick stop at a lovely rest area and then a slow drive through the main street of town …. Hughenden TICK! Maybe next time we pass through we will take the time to visit the Flinders Discovery Centre and meet “Hughie” a life-sized Muttaburrasaurus.
CHARTERS TOWERS – The World: We ended up staying here for two nights – a need rather than a choice. Michael identified a small issue with the car! Yes …. the fluid viscous coupling had s#@t itself. A few phone calls later and we just had to wait for the replacement part to be transferred from Townsville. Our extended stay allowed us the opportunity to explore the gold mining and military history of this town.
As we approached the city of Townsville we hurriedly punched in the address for the free camp at Saunders Beach and raced there without delay. Comments from fellow campers had insisted that you need to arrive early to secure a spot and we didn’t want to miss out. We knew our chances were slim due to our arrival coinciding with the first weekend of the school holidays and this location being a hotspot for backpackers. As we drove in to the small parking area we were thrilled to find there was just enough room for us to squeeze in …. YAY!!!
Time to hit the road!

The Cairns Esplanade
The Cairns Esplanade
The esplanade street as we know it today was the first to be surveyed in Cairns in October 1876. It was named Troughton Esplanade after the Travelling Superintendent of the Australian Steam Navigation Company, Captain Fred Troughton. At some point in the history of Tropical North Queensland, the original city plans were lost and the name Troughton was dropped, resulting in the simple name “Esplanade”.
The Cairns Esplanade, in Tropical North Queensland, Australia, has been a focal point for locals and visitors in Cairns city since the region was founded in the late 1800s. It is a recreational area for people from all walks of life — backpackers traveling around Australia, visitors looking for a beautiful view during an early evening dinner, couples having an early morning jog, teenagers using the skateboard ramp, CBD workers resting on the grass for lunch.
The esplanade was once a sandy beach. It is believed that the dredging of the Grafton Channel for shipping resulted in the mud completely covering the sandy beach because the sediment gathered during the dredging process was dumped offshore and promptly swept back into silt the inlet and cover the esplanade beach with mud. This infusion of mud has been great for the mangrove ecosystem, but not great for tourists who would rather see a sandy beach than a muddy tidal swamp. The arguments purported by developers are that the mudflats are an artificial ecosystem that is not integral to the mangrove forests. But environmentalists assert that the area has been in its current form long enough to be home to thousands of species of mud-dwelling creatures, and to dump the sand on top of them is environmental vandalism.

Queensland shopping centre hit by thief after front end loader used to steal Commonwealth bank ATM
#ShockingNews
Brazen thieves have been caught on camera smashing through bollards at a shopping centre using a front-end loader before making off with an ATM.
CCTV footage showed the heavy machinery outside Stockton North Shore shopping centre in the Townsville suburb of Burdell, Queensland, at 3am on Monday.
The loader rammed into the bollards once, partially knocking one of them over.
The driver then reversed and slammed into them again and knocked over all three before the bandits entered the centre forecourt.
Footage showed the front-end loader manoeuvre around an advertising board before it scooped up the Commonwealth Bank ATM and drove off.
Queensland Police said the machine and the empty ATM were later found in the grounds of a primary school.
Malcolm Miller, Stocklands North Shore centre manager, told the Townsville Bulletin he believed the offender knew what they were doing as no damage was done besides the bollards.
'We had a front-end loader drive through the impact bollards, picked up an ATM, and drove off,' he said.
'It's not affected the trading.'
Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers.
