Amusing Australian Road Signs Tease You
Australian road signs tell you to watch out for them... ...those wonderful Australian animals that is. Driving with a rental car is a great way to see Australia. Pay attention to those Australian roadsigns... They'll alert you to kangaroos, koalas, wallabies, wombats, echidnas... even penguins! Whether you're wine tasting, birding, visiting national parks or cities, visitors want to see Australia's signature wildlife.
We were driving through the wine regions of Australia, paying close attention to driving on the left and watching for road signs. The road signs warned of all the animals we wanted to see... there was the danger of hitting them.... The casualties on the side of the road attested to that, but since most of the animals are nocturnal, we didn't see many. All the locals told us the danger was driving at night. We saw kangaroo just often enough early in the morning and late in the evening to keep us looking... But we tried not to drive at night... didn't want to hit Skippy!

Sometimes the road signs would tease with two possibilities...
But the only koalas we saw on this trip were on the signs. We remember well seeing one on the side of the road on a previous trip, so it's always good to stay alert.

There are lots of signs for wombats...
Signs for echidnas... and wallabies...
And roadsigns for birds as common as duck...and as uncommon as penguins...
There are all the usual warning signs, including some pretty graphic signs about what can happen with loose rocks on the dirt roads you find in the rural areas...

We still haven't figured out what they were trying to warn us about with the internet sign...

We were glad to find a wireless connection out in the middle of nowhere though.And all those Australian road signs warning of wonderful animals out in the bush? Well, they'll have us going back for another look. Happy travels... even if you don't travel the world... just remember that life is a journey... embrace and enjoy it! Judy and Mark
