Roadside signs etc.

Some quaint roadside signs and 'old' buildings that we have come across in our travels.

The town of Dannervirke settled by Danish & Norwegians.

I love Dunedin's railway station....it looks just like one of ours!

 

[Diwundrin]

Did the grand tour Fern! Hope you had a good time. Thanks for the piccys.

This one... I think I recognize those gnomes! I put a couple out for the Council junk collection and a car pulled and they were kidnapped off the kerb. That looks like them waving.

Fern, did you see this?

 

[Vivjen]

I did it! I uploaded a photo!

 

[Pappy]

Anyone remember these?

 

[Old Hipster]

Anyone remember these?

I sure do and was just going to post about them! too funny.

 

[Fern]

Vivjen, Is that the pheasant plucker. in Rotorua?

Diwundrin thanks for that, I saw them on a trip we did some time ago, there's some good ones around if you start looking.

Spotted the 'real' Kiwi.


Supposed to be Captain Cook, discovered NZ in 1769.

 

[Vivjen]

Yes Fern, I couldn't resist the photo, though I didn't go in!
i didn't like Rotorua all that much.

Long time since I've heard that one Phants.

That's a really impressive 'colonial' pub DB, never seen one tarted up to that standard around anywhere.

 

[Jillaroo]

Beautiful building DB

Good town Gundy ..... very wealthy rural area, lots of civic pride and one of the best cafés around (in the rear of the local jewellers).

Explain this (apologies for the dull day and the amateur photographer) in Malanda, Atherton Tableland Queensland:

 

[Diwundrin]

No one would notice that in Woopi. They sell fruit and veg in the dress shop and soaps and lotions in the fruit shop.

 

[Pappy]

Pretty much sez it all....

 

[Vivjen]

I could do with that....swap thin mints for chocolate oranges..

 

[Diwundrin]

The thin mints will be good here thanks.
