At least the sign has got it right – Stop, eating animals. No one should be disturbed while they are eating! Although I would hope that they would find a less disruptive place to be a carnivore.
Originally posted as a black and white version, the sign on the side of the Jamieson Store had seen better days back in 2012.
The Wool & Sheep Pavilion at the Maffra Showgrounds.
Looking across The Rip, or The Heads,from Point Nepean to Point Lonsdale and Queenscliff on the Bellarine Peninsula. This is 2km wide entrance to Port Phillip. Queenscliff Low Light (the white lighthouse in the center and Queenscliff High Ligh (the black lighthouse) are the key navigational aids to shipping entering the Bay.
The Point Nepean Quarantine Station regulation notice is very heavy on the “regulation”!
Signage on the NSW Mail Van in the NSW Rail Museum at Thirlmere.
The B class trams at the Elizabeth Street end of the Bourke Street Mall.
Things are different in other countries, a lot of people struggle with that idea. Can you imagine this sign going unremarked upon anywhere but Ireland?
Two good things came of this photo, it helped me work out where we were on the this particular day and where the next couple of photos were taken. Without this clue things were going to be a bit touch and go, but it is amazing that almost 14 years late I can still remember some details. There was no all pervasive Google tracking to help in these olden-times like there was to help out on the UK 2017 trip.
Mind you we did have a couple of mobile phones with us, a Nokia 8310 and 3310, and later in the day spent a while talking to Susan’s parents back in Melbourne while we sat on an Iron Age Stone Fort! The other thing – can I get a set of number plate surrounds for the BT-50 from Looney Mazda?
Wellington does a great job of its street signs to some of the tourist hotspots, like the Railway Station and the Cable Car. Apparently double Fairlie steam locos were a feature of the early days of New Zealand railways in the 1870’s, with some seeing use into 1920.
