Sign of the times

[mechanic1300]

In outback Australia they make do with what they've got. If you need a road sign, just make one from a 44 gallon drum. This is an example of good old Aussie ingenuity. Although not technically great shots I had to share these two that a friend of mine took just recently travelling close to Uluru (Ayers rock) in central Australia.
By the way, roughly translated they mean "slow down" and " safe to speed up again"






There was a large dip in the road between these two signs

That is too funny!

And the colors in that first picture are beautiful!

That's funny the way they word the signs! But it's very interesting and the shots are good.

The funny part is that by the time people have figured out what the sign means they have already hit the big dip in the road.

Glad you guys got some humour out of this. As I said the shots aren't technically great (taken with a Canon point and shoot) but you have to laugh at the idea behind them. Also I spoke to a friend today who did this track 8 years ago and saw these signs. So they have stood the test of time.
