This month's topic was chosen by our December/January winner 4bye4
Signs
This could be famous, funny, and signs that state the obvious, like "no standing on the railway track".
I am sure everybody would have photos that are suitable for this topic and if not, it is not hard to take some new photos.

Entry 1
Road restriction sign at Birdsville in July 2010
We had just done the Madigan and spent several days trying to find a way past Eyre Creek, it was a very wet trip.
Brother in law risked his life as a 12 year old to tear down this enamel sign that was placed on the textile mill my father in law worked at during WW11.
The country had been occupied and the mill was taken over to produce war supplies for the Nazi war effort. The workers were slave labour and he was so incensed that he snuck out a night and tore down several of these signs. Literally risking live and limb, the rest were thrown into the river but he kept this one as a souvenir.
Roughly translates to 'For the production of cloth for all members of the national socialist german workers party'
Cheers
