Seen one sign, seen them all. Almost as exciting as a naked sheila.

Re: Signs of the Times

I take photos of signs if they're quirky. I especially like "Ghost" signs, which are old faded signs still visible from the building's past "lives". I'll post some later!

Mind you I'll take photos of anything interesting if it stays still long enough!
Nice ones Bruce!

Some "Ghost " signs. Some can be quite beautiful!
If you enlarge them you can see one of the window signs says," Electric Massage" whatever that was!

Re: Signs of the Times

Talking of signs here's one I prepared earlier.

Most of these central Queensland towns rely on bore water from the Great Artesian Basin. The only problem with it is that is is full of minerals and hydrogen sulfhide and also hot. Some towns like Moree in Northern NSW make a benefit from this by promoting its health giving properties other towns just drink it.

There is more to this story depending on the depth of the wells. eg Moree gets hot spa water from a different level to its drinking water.

This is the sign in the motel in Winton (supposedly the birthplace of Waltzing Matilda)
