It’s a sign!

Posted on 21-April-202415-May-2024 By Kate

I find the signs in Australia amusing, so please enjoy them with me:

an orange entry way carpet that has a location pin and reads "get lost somewhere interesting" printed on it
Don’t mind if I do!
road signs that read 30, parking area 1/4 P all times
How a 15 minute parking zone is signed
a pictorial sign for "no golfing"
No golfing!
A beware of crossing koalas sign, with the koala silhouette having three legs
Watch out for three-legged koalas!
A sign that reads "beware of tractors"
Hope you aren’t tractor-phobic
a road sign that reads 23% grade, vehicles use low gear
I’m glad I encountered this sign walking downhill!
a sign in a shop window that reads 'closed today due to hot weather'
Only in Australia…
a road sign that reads 'turn left at any time with care'
Don’t think about turning carelessly
a road sign that reads 'maximum 80, crash zone'
Extra care required here
A road sign that reads "slow, ducks crossing" with a mother duck silhouette being followed by four ducklings
Look out for the quack quacks!
a sign outside of a shop that reads 'ice-cream jigsaw-puzzle store'
The strangest combination of a store, found in Tasmania
A sign with a tourist running from a crocodile that reads crocodile breeding area'
Don’t forget to be croc-safe!

What do you think? Are the Aussies onto something with their signage norms?

See you soon,

Kate

A warning sign with various warnings about using the travelator with luggage, prams, wheelchairs, and a final disclaimer to use caution if wearing crocs
Last but not least, the warnings on the travelator in the Perth airport, mind your toes!
