Detail:
I saw this
sign along the road between
Muloorina Station Campground and
Level Post Bay,
Lake Eyre (North). It looks pretty old to me. It also seemed like a rather random place for a road
sign. It was at a
junction of a private road and the access track out to the Bay. Below is a more modern
sign at the same
junction:
Does anyone know any history behind this or similar signs? It reminds me of the signs that the Auto Club posted all around southern California. You can see lots of examples on this blog:
Click here for old Calif. Auto Signs Decades ago, the club did the work of marking and mapping roads. At the time, the various levels of government hadn't yet taken on the responsibility! Does this
sign have a similar
heritage?
BTW, I took these photos on 7 June 2008.
