Description
Many places you visit now days have big signs just before you arrive at the town and these signs have photos on them. It must be a photo to claim the cache not a painting or a drawing. To claim the cache the photo must contain the sign, you and your GPS. The sign must have street directions on it also. Your log must state the co-ordinates as many towns have a sign at either end of town so both signs may be used. Each cacher may only log ONE sign and each sign may only be logged ONCE

Welcome to Melton.
A large photo welcome sign on Ballarat Rd, Ravenhall welcomes you to Melton.
Alas, the usual bogans out here in the west have decided that we must all suffer from their "art" and the sign has, of course, been vandalized. Sigh!

S41 09.067 E147 20.388 DERBY SIGN
Derby is a small town located in the northeast of Tasmania.
The area had been surveyed in 1855, but was not settled until 1874, when George Renison Bell discovered tin in the area. The Krushka brothers discovered a large lode of tin, and set up a mine (named The Brothers Mine) in the area, assuring the town's economic future. The town was originally known as Brother's Home until renamed Derby (believed to be after Edward Smith-Stanley, 14th Earl of Derby the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom).
Brother's Home Post Office opened on 1 August 1882 and was renamed Derby in 1885.
Derby reached its peak in the late 19th century, when its population reached over 3,000, and the Brothers Mine (renamed the Briseis Mine after the winner of the 1876 Melbourne Cup) was producing upwards of 120 tonnes of tin per month.
On 4 April 1929, the Briseis Dam used by the mine burst after heavy rains and the Cascade River flooded the town, killing 14 people. The mine was closed, but re-opened five years later although it never reached the same level of output as it had in the last century and closed in 1948.
In 2015 a network of Mountain Bike trails (MTB) opened in the wooded hills surrounding Derby. The trails are called Blue Derby and stretch out to the Blue Tier area. Mountain bike tourism has transformed the town and mountain bike and trail running events have been held, with many guided tours also available. The Derby trail network has been widely commended around the world as one of the best and featured frequently in the media for it's incredibly impact on the town. In April 2017, Derby hosted a round of the Enduro World Series. It was the first time the Enduro World Series has been held in Australia.

Our photo sign is at the turn off to the Undara Volcanic lava tubes in Queensland and can be found at S18 08.103. E144 39.242.
As there are no streets as such, just a caravan park and the tourist complex it doesn't fully qualify for this one but it does have some information on how much further to go.
Have lots of qualifying signs as we find the locationless cache Never Ending Welcome often but chose this one hoping more cachers might visit.
The tubes were formed about 190000 years ago when 23 cubic kilometres of lava flowed into a river bed and kept flowing for 160 kilometres.
The only way to see them is on a guided tour and from memory it wasn't cheap, especially when a stay at the caravan park is added on top of that.
Thanks.

On a caravan road trip and approaching the town of Orbst, Mrs GT54 quickly snapped this photo as we were driving on the highway. Lovely pics of Victoria. TFTC

Hi TimTam
Mangana is a little hamlet out the back of Fingal.
Its welcome sign shows the picture of its Church. Being a rural area, little else is there other than one or two houses. Some logging also takes place in the surrounding area.
Cheers and TFTC

The photo added to the Gallery shows a photo sign at Leith, between Devonport and Ulverstone, and is on the side of the highway as you head westwards. The photo is of the iconic Cradle Mountain and the road sign shows the turnoff to Cradle Mountain. The photo added to the gallery shows two images: the first of one of us with GPS at the sign; the second is a close up view of the photo on the road sign. TFTC TimTam Too.
