Is she trying to be the Townsville counterpart of Kyle Sandilands
I am a big fan of Captain Cook, and what I saw on Wednesday connected me to his voyage to observe the transit of 1769 and the subsequent "Discovery" of Australia.
The Historical fact alone should have been enough for observing the transit.

I must say that the Television Media was very supportive, and showed some brilliant images and video's of the transit.

I suppose the old adage, for every positive reaction, there is a negative reaction holds sway here .

I had quite a few people drop in to have a look at the transit through the various Telescopes and Binoculars, and did not get one adverse reaction
I suppose I would say, that her opinion will really not effect all the people in Townsville and surrounds who saw the transit and read her rant, will treat it with the contempt it deserves.
Cheers
