Australians have strange signs

A few of the photos from the last blog post reminded me that Australia has some strange signs. They also aren't very good at putting signs where you want them to be, but that is another story.


Drive on left in Australia. I hope that people aren't just learning this as they pass the sign. (Great Ocean Road, with high tourist traffic)

Please Check Under Your Car before driving away - there might be a penguin under it. (Phillips Island Penguin Parade)


If I walk into this Cambodian Cafe, doe it take me to Burke road, or to Riversdale road?


Australian wildlife - Kangaroo? Check. Koala? Check. Wombat? Check. Dragon with a scarf?? (Mallacoota, Vic)

Drowsy Drivers Die - now thats stiff punishment! (Gippsland, Vic)

They have trains on roads here? In the background is a sign that clarifies that train tracks cross the side road. Why they need two signs to make this point, I'm not sure. (Gippsland, Vic)

Unfenced cattle and kangaroos in the snow (Mount Hotham, Vic)
