Interesting Signs in the wilderness.

This one is from Småland, in southern Sweden. The closest reindeer was 500 km north. The caption is, "indoors as well".



This is from an ordinary village in southern Sweden. Someone REALLY did not want visitors.

[Snowzone]

It's about time someone warned us about this risk.

And you better obey it, because a copper could be along any day now!

Actually the sign may not be legal. As far as I'm aware, under all Australian jurisdictions there must be two signs delineating the extent of the NSAT (No Standing Any Time) or similar restricted areas. These signs are usually at a maximum of 200 (two hundred) metres and the NSAT cannot cross intersections within the meaning of the Road Safety Act, RS Regulations, or local equivilant. On balance of probability the sign has no effect at law.

Apart from that, LOL.

There could be a reason for the no stopping.....

No stopping

and certainly no overtaking

Passing lanes?

Had a good laugh at that one when I saw it too.

Very Large Wombats Ahead! Please drive with care.

Horse-sized wombats - not at all! The area is inhabited by very small horses and leprechauns. A conventional horse is easy to see, but the tiny ones blend in. This is why the sign was put up.

Also: "Beware of decapitation from kangaroos that don't jump quite high enough".

Oh yes, I missed that. Fortunately I'm used to crawling, keeping a low profile.

Looks like the cassowaries may have damaged a few cars as well :0

I was reminded of this thread when reviewing some north Qld trip photos.
Given that many of the submissions are road side signs I will add this one:

[Lophophaps]

The last three pics - LOL.

This sign is near the entrance to Manu National Park, in the Amazon rainforest of Peru. Roughly translated, it says:

WARNING!
TRANSIT ZONE FOR UNCONTACTED INDIGENOUS PEOPLE

AVOID CONFLICTS:
Do not deliberately make contact.
Don't give clothes, food, equipment or anything else.
Don't take photographs (they may interpret the camera as a weapon).

In cases of contact, advise the Ministry of Culture.

Ribuck, there's a similar sign where the Mount Twynum track veers right and up to the summit and the track to Tate goes left and down. The sign warns day trippers about bushwalkers. I cannot recall what language is used.

[ribuck]

Oh, I do hope someone can post a photo of that sign, Lophophaps.

It's a few years since I walked along there, but it sticks in my mind that what the sign really says is a warning to Day Trippers to not go any further unless they are experienced walkers equipped for overnight. Which does of course make sense.

Me, I like the sign which used to be at Blue Lake Saddle: "If lost, wait here." Is it still there?

Where's the fun if you can't "do picnic" or "start plants"?

And where's the fun if you can't pick up the unexploded bombs that frequent Heysham Beach in England?

I love tresspasers will be shot signs. In the southern highlands, shoulhaven, nowra areas. They are literal and I obey

[rcaffin]

Chuckle.
I did once see a pic of a sign which said
"Trespassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again."

Cheers
Roger

[north-north-west]

Some do it a little differently (seen this variation in a number of places, mainly Victoria's high country):

NO TRESPASSING
SURVIVORS WILL BE PROSECUTED

I like the subtlety and ambiguity of leaving you to work out exactly what you may have to survive in order to achieve prosecution.

This was at the Fitzroy Falls Visitor Centre in NSW.

This wasn't on a bush walk, but was on a bike ride along the Timber Trail in NZ (which I guess one could walk if they wanted!)
