Confusing Signs

Doug Lansky has been a travel writer and photographer for many years. In the course of his travels he has collected photos of odd signs from around the world. Some samples:

• A white highway sign in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, says, "Entrance Only/Do Not Enter."
  


• A yellow diamond-shaped sign from Mill Valley, California, says, "Not a Through Street." Right below it is a blue circle with a white arrow pointing straight ahead and the words, "Evacuation Route."
  


• A sign in Pennsylvania says, "Invisible Fence Now Open."
  


• A sign from Tibet reads: "Lhasa Recelption Centre for the Unorganized Tourists."
  


• A sign from Rome, Georgia, says, "Used Rainbows, $250 and Up."
  


• And finally, a blue sign with white letters reads: "Pakistan-Narcotics Control Board Investigating Unit." But it is obscured a bit by the marijuana growing up in front of it.

END OF THE ROAD

After visiting the Ida Bay Railway we drove on for half an hour to the farthest point that can be reached by road in Australia. It is at Cockle Bay. To get there we went through some lush forest and followed a stunning coastline bordered by white beaches. A five minute walk took us to the end of the road at the edge of the southern coast where it is marked by a large sculpture of a whale. A sad reminder of a whaling industry that only stopped because whales were almost made extinct. At least the location is in a National Park and will not become a "Lands End" development like in the UK.

IDA BAY RAILWAY

We went to Swanport in the far south of Tas. today to ride on the Ida Bay Railway. This is a restored narrow gage tramway that takes visitors through a variety of vegetation including native buttongrass ,and beside a pituresque bay where two sea eagles live ,to the site of the wharf used to load ships with limestone from Lune River. John Woodcock Graves author of "D'ye ken John Peel" purchased a block near the township in 1863. It is a memorable trip and the $20 ticket(age discount) for a two hour excursion great value for money.
