I have included a photo of a recycled flower pot man riding a scooter. The artwork is located in a botanic garden

I was in Mole Creek after a Traditional GC cache and working through an Ad/lab when I saw this sign. Visitors Welcome but Authorized Entry Only or be prosecuted.

Penrose Railway Station.

I'll probably give the multi the flick & hide a SideTracked cache here. Taking photos for a Waymark I saw this official sign which I found amusing. The station is unmanned so not to sure about the opening hours or even the need for the sign. On second thoughts if it was only open 18 hours a day who would police it? Good decision.

Wingello Railway Station again.

I'm on a roll. Do you want to travel by train from Central to Wingello for free? According to this sign you can.

The sign reads: As of August 1st 2002 this station no longer sells tickets. Tickets must be purchased at your destination. There is a problem of course. TFTC.

I knew there had to be a Locationless for the sign I saw so went through the lot - should have started at Z. I visited Wingello Railway Station on Monday taking photos of various things with the intention of hiding a Multi, which would be my first. Wingello is an unmanned station which wasn't reflected in the sign beside the Unisex toilet - Please see staff for access. TFTC.

This was seen whilst doing a nearby GC Cache called Whomping Willow umm....Eucalypt GC7QD2Y
Not the usual type of Falcon you expect to see ina tree.
The landowner had this put into a tree by a crane, to promote a book he was writing.
The cache is not on private land but the vehicle in the tree is, so the photo is taken from a distance away.
I thought it would be most suitable for this Locationless, thanks The Goons.

Didgeridoo Player in Leura Mall

No, we don't often see a lot of traditional music performed on the main street of my home town, but this man was performing at the annual Leura Fair (in Leura, NSW, in the Blue Mountains).

I listened for some time and made a payment. And it was well worth the price.

Driving around this town grabbing the caches and stopped opposite this church to use the public toilet there.
Was most amused by this sign.
As I was taking the photos 2 ladies from the church pulled up and I got talking to them. They thought I was taking photos of the stained glass windows so I didn't disillusion them'
Thanks.

Another Strange Sign in Katoomba, NSW

Actually, it should read 'Lady of Grace Funerals' but looks like it's written in Arabic when you first glance at it.



Yes, it's actually upside and backwards!

I think the business is long gone, and no-one seems to be using the premises . . . so the sign remains.

Funny Sign in Katoomba, NSW



I can imagine how frustrating it is to run a business and have a great many customers constantly struggling with the door -- especially when there's no problem with the door!

This business owner, right across from the Katoomba Railway Station, certainly has a sense of humour!

Whilst staying in Amiens last year (on a WW1 battlefields tour leading up to ANZAC Day at Villers-Bretonneux) I came across this wooden sculpture in one of the canals behind the Cathedral. I was there looking for a geocache "Le Quai Bélu" http://coord.info/GC2P7QH which described it and two other statues (which I never did discover...)

"From the Bridge Dodane, for the curious, looking for the 3 works of Stephan Balkenhol. These three statues were made at from the same trunk of oak. Easily discover man on the buoy but will you manage to locate the man in the red shirt and the woman in the green dress?"

It seems the locals regularly dress this one in different t-shirts - white in the the cache listing photo, black when I found him.

On another visit to this spot I discovered a submerged hatchback in the canal! (I found the photo )

Driving around Dunnville Ontario, turn a corner and come across this freaky abomination in a a park.

After find the cache at "Sport is Life" GC36AJ9. Walk back to the car and noticed something funny.... What unusual - The cattle on the balcony!!! Thanks.

We all like to find a bargain when we go shopping, but how could you possibly beat this one! Not sure what they were thinking (or perhaps not thinking), but I hope everybody likes Tuna. Discovered this one in Woolworths in Devonport, Tasmania.

I am sure there must be a good reason why they have a huge CUB sign on thier house but I did not stop long enough to ask.

While passing through a town I noticed this strange sign.
So there really is a "La-La Land", here is the proof.

Driving along the Bunya Mountains road heading South toward dalby there is a bush camp off to the left. At the roadside at the gates into and to the left there is the name of the bush camp spelt out in white painted rocks. there is no marked grave anywhere near here. ther is no mention of this Gentleman on any other plaque but this plaque commemorates his life. ther is no story board to indicate any sort of history to this area.

Well I did ask wot's goin On Ere as I was at the town dump today and this old machine was still there. I noticed it several months ago and as it is very out of place I made some enquiries. Apparently as the dump was being enlarged the work crew came upon this covered in grass in an adjoiningg paddock that was once attached to the Police Paddock where horses used to be kept and grain was grown for them.. Dates back to the early to mid last century.

Driving from Piccaninnie Ponds back towards Mt Gambier and noticed these 'bucket' trees. No idea what it's all about, but it certainly gives you 'Wot's Goin' On 'ere' moment.

Driving through Ulverstone on a frog hunting expedition and saw this tree. The signposts in the immediate area are also cosy in their knitted coverings.

Update: Two days after the original log above there was a story in the local paper about this - Ulverstone has been yarn bombed, or yarn graffiti-ed if you prefer. The proprieter of the nearby hadicraft shop felt that her area of town had missed out on christmas decorations from the local council so got some friends together to remedy the situation. What a great idea!

I was doing a gc cache when out of the bushes appeared these soldiers with rifles at the ready. They had a rest by the sign where the cache was and then marched off towards town-reminded me of The Day the war began by John McMasters.

This shop raised an eyebrow until we realised what town we were in where it's obviously okay to butcher penguins.

An amusing sign near Rockingham, Western Australia
We know that claims are made that things are bigger and better in the west but does Cyril actually weigh 16 tonne or were his scales faulty or did the sign-writers not proof read their work? What is going on here?

I was going to Princes Park in Launceston to have a look at the fountain and was amazed to see a huge black whale in the park! He was actually supposed to be a blue whale (!!!) and his name is Cuddles. He is being used to publicise an arts festival and he will be appearing in different parks around Launceston. Very unexpected.

Saw these two old red phoneboxes in Ross, Tasmania. The one on the right still has a telephone in it so it's a phonebox. The one on the left could be superman's changeroom or it might be a Tardis!

Spotted this assortment of shower heads in a garden at prospect

We found these two electric trains while travelling from Holbrook in NSW to Corryong in Victoria. They are located in a small town known as Lankys Creek. The strange thing with these two trains is that they are at least 150kms from the nearest train station at Albury.

Unusual & interesting - I think so. Two gutted Grumman Trackers (ex Naval anti-submarine aircraft) sitting in a paddock not far from their original base. I recall two of these aircraft flying low over my home many years ago. A fellow I went to school with was the navigator & plotted the course. They were certainly very loud!!

Walked past this seat while caching in Cronulla, Sydney this week. I knew there had to be a LOC cache that it qualified for as it was too ridiculous to go uncommented upon! Now, there is nothing wrong with the seat.. it functions, is in good nick (if a little un-maintained!), and in one of the most PICTURESQUE parts of Sydney, Port Hacking!

So what's wrong I here you say? Well, check out the well manicured view hahaha

What is this beautiful blond woman doing high up in the Blue Mountains -- actually on top of remote Lockley Pylon -- wearing a long blue dress? Is she dancing to celebrate the newly-arrived springtime? Is she performing some kind of religious ritual?

Well, it's a photo of my wife, Mrs. pjmpjm, taking photographs of the many magnificent mountain panoramas, while I performed 'logging duties' nearby, by taking photographs for the EarthCache entitled 'A Lockley Story.'

Because this cache log involves a photograph of my dear wife, I'm rating the total experience as 'outstanding' and giving this cache the full 'Five Thumbs Up' -- just in case Mrs. pjmpjm read this log!

Deep down South in Namadgi National Park in the ACT, many km of dirt fire trails in from the nearest carpark, is this strange dunny sitting out in the open bush for no apparent reason. It is colloqually called Aboud's Dunny. (searchable on the internet). Amazing indeed.

we found this phone car in the national motor museum, it is a real car and it is a real phone although not so modern as it has to be plugged into a phone line to work.

I was heading along North Terrace in Adelaide when I realised I was following four "Where's Wallys". Now that's something you don't see every day. They were larking about with some purpose, what, I don't know.

While queued up in road works today we were shocked to see water erupt from the ground nearby, after a quick look to make sure we were not going to be sucked in to the earth or water throw us into space I remembered we had the camera on us. Not long after I took the photo it stopped.

Was on my way caching in Launceston, in fact I was on my way to the cache "Quarter Mile", when I came across what looked like a set up for the Mad Hatters Party. There were no rabbits (except me) to be seen anywhere. No other participants either. A large cup in a paddock??? TFTC and cheers OldSaint.

I have always laughed at this as long as I can remember. I have no idea what it is doing there but it has always been there and it looks great.

While out on a day of caching I came across this sign, I stopped and had a look around but I still have no idea what the sign refers to.

I was travelling for work, and had a 15min walk from my hotel to the worksite I was visiting. Along the route I noticed this sign, and had to take a photo. Okay, I've been warned, but about what?

One of the amazing things about visiting here was how lush the coutryside was, and EVERYTHING was overgrown, it was just amazing.

Found this unusual monument on the Tasman Peninsula, still not sure what it's all about

waiting too go home sitting in the car I notice something strange on the bin.

Found this on way back from Wielangta Forest...it's in good order too...just near a private entrance in the middle of no where. May be cool for an emergency use...oh yuk.

didn't have the Gps on so it wasn't quick enough too get the co-ords. I t was a drive through Taree I saw something strange happen it a person riding a horse from the direction of Repco, the car part place.

A sign to prevent idiots from doing the obviously stupid with cars near cliffs. Found near Talia Caves, Eyre Pen SA.

Whilst doing Lynn Pat & Nathan's cache 'A Quick Grab' we came across this sign. I must say I am very proud of you Aussies, West Australia most - in the fact that even your worms are protected. I love a place that looks after it's wildlife so well no matter how little it is or where it actually lives.

Left the Geokids for a couple of minutes - they said something about building a snowman. Came out and there it was. Actually this guy has been here a while and is starting to look a little old. He greets the skiers each day at the base of Falls Creek Express.

I did a sharp U-turn (or was it an S-bend) when I saw... "Dunny-Doo".

Walking back from a visit to the beach in the south of England in summer (with the long pants and jumper on) I noticed this tree. It was so bright and colourful that I just had to take a piccie. All the bits and pieces on it have been left at the beach by visitors.
The cove is beautiful as well. PLUS there is a petrified forest there too. Lulworth Cove. I took this pic in August 2007 before I started Caching.

I'm afraid I don't have the coordinates for this one, since it dates back to my pre-caching days, but it's an amusing sign on the South Island of New Zealand that made me do a double take when I saw it. The excessive signage is largely due to the fact that the bridge ahead is a one-lane bridge ... shared with the train line! Gulp!

While doing another cache along the Moonee Ponds Creek trail I came across this mildly amusing sign. Thank goodness for a municipal council with a bit of a sense of humour!

Now this is a locationless I can get into. These coords are for a fairly random thing I came across whilst having a very productive days caching in Prague. Not exactly sure of the reasoning behind a cow in a spacesuit, but you don't question these things - just snap a photo and move on.
Will have to trawl through the photo archives for more worlwide random madness.

Ran into this in Derby NE Tas.
Subsequently found it was the subject of a cache - GCN315.

Elvis - alive and well and spotted in Nambour!
We were waiting at a red traffic light when this chap wandered over to our window and asked for a lift to Mephis. We told him it was a little out of our way, but really, we didn't want to share our burgers!

I was driving out of Whyalla heading for Port Augusta with a broken laptop and no information when I spotted a weird road sign that stated "Ship Approaching". Huh?

Found this high and dry. The captain must have done a big run up to get it this far!

Spotted this custom designed F350(?) in the carpark at the Marina Mirage carpark, Sea World Drive on the Gold Coast. Not sure if it is all for show or not. It had mega high lift suspension, triple shockies, electric automatic steps to get into it, four exhausts either side plus two stacks in the ute well. More spotties than an airport runway, and we couldn't even see into it to note the internal modifications. Wonder how many litres they get to the klm? Probably owns his own refinery!!

How slow do you need to go? Spotted this speed sign at road works north of Townsville today.I wonder if the date has anything to do with this.Thanks to The Goons for an unusual cache.

Spotted this unusual car parked at Moonee Beach (NSW) Shopping Centre.
Looks like it could be a home made hot rod kit.

On a tour of caches in the Nelson Bay area came across this house, and wasn't sure if I should record it in 'Renovators Delight'. Decided to log it here, as I'm sure the person who built this won't be delighted when they have difficulty selling 'as it is'. Check out the side room, and main 'sun room'.

On a tour of the New England area with a friend, we drove past this 'strange-looking' UFO or whatever. On the way back after a lovely picnic at the lookout took a photo, then just a bit further up the road found a sign saying that it is for air navigation. Yeah, right! For aliens!

Spotted in Berry on the Princes H'way NSW.
Always wondered how far it was to the Bermuda Triangle. Will have to memorise these facts for the next quiz night!

Seen grazing nearby whilst we completed a cache near here. Thank God there was a fence between us!!

Got this one on the way back from our Bathurst/Blue Mountains Weekend.

This feature used to be a human face with just lips and an eye until Main Roads decided it was too much of a distraction and whited it out. Within 24 hours this character appeared and has just had a touch up recently. He adorns the winding road known as the Gillies Highway which connects Gordonvale to the Atherton Tableland in North Queensland.

Found this sign in the Yarloop Steam Workshops Timber Heritage Centre in the SW of WA. Particularly taken with the pattern makers room in this amazing museum.

Returning from placing a cache on a hill top, I couldn't help but wonder about the aliens...

This is on the roadside between Hobart and Dover. It was at the time in a paddock with a group of frustrated bulls.

Near Dunally in Tasmania sitting in the middle of a paddock are a bunch of boats.
I don't fancy his chances of them floating but they are amusing to look at.

After driving past this several times the previous day on the way to/from a nearby campsite, I finally noticed something odd as I set off to head home. If I'd noticed earlier I would've asked a local for some of the history.

Ahhh! Its little things like this that make a stay at the Royal Children's Hospital just that little bit more bearable! The sign is located at the Emergency Entrance to the Hospital, and although I walked past it many times daily, samcarter actually pointed it out to me! Fortunately near the car park gate there is a $3 coin dispenser; unfortunately it only accepts $6 notes!

Had first noticed this 'strange phenomona', in July '07 when I was 'flying' with GoogleEarth between some geocaches at Wallabi and Old Bar, and thought, "What's going here?" I am including the shot of the earth with the log.

I wasn't sure if somebody had dummied the GoogleEarth shot, but people at work had also heard about the 'shark' that you could see from 'outer space'. So October 26 I had arranged with the local tribal leader for son and myself to access the site and check it out for ourselves. I took my Foretrex 101 to record the walk around. However, the GoogleEarth photo is quite old and the clearing was not cleared like you see from above. In fact, as the photo with 'Fang Shaw' shows, the whole area is rather overgrown, and the elders are planning on clearing it some time.

The current caretaker did not even know what I was talking about, but rather they pride themselves on the"Turtle", that you may, or may not imagine from the Earth shot, to the upper left of the shark.

Also I wanted to see if the 'stingray' was still there, but no, property developers have done a lot of clearing for an estate, and that is no longer there.

This link gives you a screen shot of what the GPSr recorded of when I walked around.
If anybody wants to check it out for themselves on the ground, please contact me at my GC profile so I can gain permission for you to enter, before you waste your time, or intrude on the tribe's privacy.

Noticed this at the Stirling Hotel Bottle Shop recently. Did the signwriter spend a little too much of the afternoon at the local establishment, I wonder?

Found this interesting and chilling photo on one of the walls of the old Pudi Prison in Kuala Lumpur, on a recent trip to Malaysia. Was in the area finding a cache which is located not far from where this photo was taken on a rear wall of the prison.

Well this one is a little like Tealby's. This particular rag tree (I think some people call them a fairy tree), was on a road between Dungarvan and Lismore in Ireland. I have seen more than one in Ireland, but they're not common. It was in the middle of nowhere really, between the Comeragh and Knockmealdown mountains. I also think that once one starts (however that may be) people add to them over time. (I didn't take the coords as didn't know of this cache at the time, so let me know if it disqualifies the find and I'll change the tick to a note!)
