Australian Signs

When travelling in Australia, it's noticeable that the road signs are not at all like those in Europe.  For a start, most of them are yellow and advise of a completely different set of hazards.  For example, not all roads are suitable for all vehicles.

Despite the long distances, very sharp turns sometimes occur in unlikely places.

And of course there's the type of hazard that only occurs in Australia.

We're not totally convinced that the last sign hasn't been tampered with – but you never know!

It seems that Australian cows are very strong and go around picking up cars.  We think they're just bragging.

Information signs are generally helpful . . .

But the distances can be daunting.  Presumably this means that the caravan can be left whilst going for fuel or a lie down!

And can you imagine the kids constant questioning "are we there yet" on a day trip to one of these tourist attractions?

This sign is interesting, but we're not too sure what to do with the information.

And this one we thought rather obvious.

This one is just curious.

And this one is quite worrying.

But I'm happy to report that we still have all of our arms and legs.

We found some signs to be completely baffling.

Some signs are formal

Others less so.

There's comedy too.

And some, well maybe.

Here's a couple of favourites.

Here's one that definitely will not be found in the Essex countryside

And lastly, our favourite.
