WERTHFKRWE...At the bar at Cameron Corner, there's a sign with the initials WERTHFKRWE. If I recall, you have to pay a fine to the RFDS for asking. When I was there, I paid my "insurance to the RFDS" (hoping that if I made a donation, I wouldn't need them...
And it worked.
But does anyone know what these intitials stand for?
I don't want to take away their potential revenue by having the information made this public (I think we should all donate to the RFDS!!) but...I'd love to know...!

It stands for " Where the .... are we". I think you can guess the missing bit :)

This is the mob that started it all >>
.

The Fukawi Tribe:
.
A tribe of pygmies from the Grasslands of Africa, the Fukawi grow to a height of 4 feet tall. They roam through the 5-foot tall grass jumping up and down shouting "We're the Fukawi! We're the Fukawi!"

Oh, I do get out!
Well, I thought I did!!
I was looking at it as separate initials...an acronym...not a run-it-all-together!!
I should've read it as you do with the Kew stickers (seen the ones in the town on Kew, on the NSW mid-north coast? Simply says "Far Kew". Not many towns can do that, eh?!)
Maybe all that corner country bull-dust ( I was gate opener!) got sucked into my brain and I wasn't thinking...
Thanks, all.
And don't forget to support the RFDS!!

Hi Robyn,We do support RFDS, a great organisation, If you live at Kurnell, a suburb of Sydney the question is always, Is that,near Kurnell or far Kurnell??

Ok...the William Creek one...
can't do the YCWCY but the rest has surely got to be "A Gold Coin Donation To The RFDS"
Damn...hope I'm not still pondering this one at 2am...!!

Aha!
I was thinking along the lines of "You Can..." but the WCY didn't go with it...
Well...can't wait to encounter one of those signs now...what are the chances of remembering the answer when I do see the darn sign...?!?!
