Funny, particularly Aussie, signs

[Dirk Bellstedt]

Hi Guys,

Speedz' Avatar (how that for an apostrophe "s", my high school teacher would be proud of me) has tempted me to start this thread.

I was in Aussie in winter last year for three weeks, mainly along the East coast, and the signs that were posted were just so funny on the one side and on the other side, I had the feeling that people were thinking that I was completely incapable of using my common sense. To me it appeared as though the Aussie society has become so overprotective and regulated that they want to think for you. Well, I will post this one image and then let you decide. It was taken on the beachfront in northern Queensland in Cairns, the boats in the background would be headed for the Great Barrier Reef...... Just imagine of you were to see one of these signs in Kruger Park?

Kind regards,

Dirk

Best thing i have seen in kruger is a guy get out of his car while watching lions to take a pee - not seeing the female about 2M away from the tree he was aiming for....

Thanks for that one Henk, where's the pic?

Speedz, I think we need one of these signs on Durban beach near the Tugela, what do you think? This one comes from near Cairns.

Kind regards,

Dirk

Here you can see the type of road sign that Speedz' avatar shows but on a very serious issue as cassowary's are apparently regular roadkill in Aussie. We did not see a single one....

Kind regards,
Dirk

Just after we left from Sydney, the Pope visited on world youth day. When we were there the whole of Sydney was being "organized" so that you "knew where to go" or shall I say that you were herded in the right direction.... See this sign:
