Free Fall

This sign is for a slide called "Free Fall" at Questacon in Canberra.

What I'm wondering is why they think anyone with a fear of heights would close enough to a slide that involves a drop of several metres to read the sign.

Like Gold to Us

Yes, Australia is a very dry continent and yes water is very precious, but "Water is like gold to us", come on. I once saw an Australian panning for gold and he left the gold and took the water home. No, not really.

This sign was hanging on the shower tap in a hotel in Bungendore.

Heavy

Its about 8 metres long, its made of metal and its... heavy. You might need to click the image to get a larger version to read the daft sign on the side of this torpedo from the Fleet Air Arm Museum at HMAS Albatross near Nowra, NSW. Its in the grey section, its upside down and its the single work "heavy".

Davy Jones

This rather silly sign is at Seaworld at Main Beach in Queensland's Gold Coast.

Signalmans Trike

The sign on the front reads "Signalmans Trike". Count the wheels...

This vehicle is an exhibit at Casino Mini Rail's train museum at Old Casino Station, NSW.

Park Beach Interiors

Is it a park, is it a beach? Either way, neither has an interior.

Despite the sign trying to convince you otherwise, this is a shop in Coffs Harbour, NSW.

Zilch

What can I say...

This rather clever mural is on some sort of Utility cabinet on the Cumberland Highway near the M4 Interchange in Wentworthville in Sydney's west.

In case you can't read it, it says...

new
Zilch
does nothing
FAST!

... and even has a bar code on the side.

Parents Room

I'm not sure what you'd call it if Fathers were not welcome, but it wouldn't be a "parents room".

This sign is in Tumbalong Park at Darling Harbour, Sydney.

Emergency Exit

The thing that amused me on the back of this bus was the result of one sign on top of another. I guess the back of a bus isn't too roomy. The Advertising sign has the lower half of a lady and the bus company has seen fit to superimpose "Emergency Exit" on her (ahem) bottom. Click the photo for a larger image.

The back of a bus was on Berry St at North Sydney, along with the rest of the bus.

Safety and Comfort

This sign was up at the Royal Easter Show this year. Personally I'd feel safer if the stand wasn't full and I bet I'd be more comfortable.
