THE WALLABY TRACK WITH LIONEL MUSSELL
SIGNS OF
SILLINESS
THANK GOODNESS FOR COMMON SENSE. WE’D ALL BE
IN TROUBLE IF PEOPLE TOOK THESE SIGNS LITERALLY.
I'm on the permanent free coffee list at the Halls
Gap Lakeside Caravan Park, Vic, and when I
called in recently, owner Josephina was keen
to show me the park’s latest improvement –
another lovely new swimming pool. With the hot
weather we'd been having, the extra pool seemed
a good idea and I got Josephina to stand near the
pool for a photo, although she protested that she
would spoil the pic. This, of course, is not true as
she is a very attractive lady! (I had to write that to
make sure I stay on the free coffee list!)
THROUGH TO WHERE?
There are a lot of silly road signs. I came across
this sign (pictured) when out walking in Hamilton,
Vic, during a recent muster of the Gippsland
Gypsies branch of the Australian Caravan Club. I
don't know how many people would mistake the
driveway for a road.
There's one I see a lot (also pictured) and although
I do my best to obey the admonition to speed, my
little Getz is not a Formula 1 racing car, so I'm
afraid I can't speed too much! I pass the one in the
pic most days and so far I haven't seen too many
speeding locals despite the sign.
I guess you all notice silly signs as you drive
around this great country, including the ones
on narrow bridges where you are told there's no
overtaking or passing on the bridge – as if you
could or would!
