S41 22.622 E147 07.507 LAUNCESTON TASMANIA
Launceston is a riverside city in northern Tasmania. It's famed for the Cataract Gorge, with panoramic views, walking trails, sculpted gardens and a chairlift. The Queen Victoria Museum, in a 19th-century railway workshop, has exhibitions on Tasmanian history. Its sister Art Gallery lies across the river, by sprawling Royal Park. The vineyards of the Tamar Valley stretch northwest along the Tamar River.

Spotted this one for the Summer Scavenge Series, marking the boundary between Hornsby Shire Council and neighbouring Ku-ring-gai, just down the road from home. Thanks meatmanfamily.
Whilst on our recent caching excursion south, we came across a sign for one of the limits to the city of Glenorchy. the required photo has been added to the Gallery. thanks meatmanfamily for the cache.
City of Gold Coast
This is a very old sign, I think its been forgotten in the usual attempts to rebrand the city. It marks the boundary between the City of Gold Coast and the Shire of Tweed and at the same time marking the boundary of the states of Queensland and New South Wales.
Thanks for the locationless.

When I read the cache's requirements, I instantly thought of another GC cache that I'd found on this particular City Limits sign! Perfect!! Today, I happened to be passing through and took a little happy snap of myself at the City Limits of the town of Morwell, Victoria - this sign is highlighting the local rose garden which is really impressive.

PEAK HILL ROAD
DUBBO, NSW
I have a number of signs announcing the limits of towns and while they range from yuck to beautiful, thus far, the entrance to Dubbo has the nicest signs I have seen. Each entrance is very similar to the photo included here and contain an attractively decorated animal of multicolours. I think all the entrances contain rhinos. I think this is because Taronga Zoo is the home of the Rhino Conservation Breeding Program and thus the signs represent that. I'm kicking myself now that I didn't photograph them all.

Sign for Clifton Beach, with "City of Clarence" at the top - one of the few cities in Tasmania, yet there is no actual township itself called Clarence. This is because its the area made up of many suburbs and smaller localities. Thanks for the cache.

Welcome to Dederang. Dederang nestles in the picturesque Kiewa Valley, about half an hour south of Albury-Wodonga on the Bright route to the Victorian snowfields.
The Kiewa River, which runs through the valley, provides some of the most challenging and rewarding trout fishing in the region.
Please be warned to keep a wary eye out in the early morning and evening for dairy herds making their way to the milking sheds.

Welcome to Tarlee, one of many signs we saw yesterday.
The following photos are of the welcome signs of the small country village in which I grew up, maybe that should be raised, as there are a lot of people that would say I haven't grown up yet!!! Huonville is 23 miles south of Hobart, situated on the Huon River, from which great tasting trout can be extracted during the trout fishing season. Both resident and sea run fish can be caught here, sea run taste the best - especially smoked!! TFTC and cheers OldSaint.
The Northern city limit sign of Alice Springs on the Stuart Highway. We stopped here during our trip to Coober Pedy, Uluru, Kings Canyon and Alice Springs for the holidays.
The Welcome Sign to Coober Pedy comprises a mural of a giant centipede with the flags of all the nationalities that live in the town. We stopped here during our trip to Coober Pedy, Uluru, Kings Canyon and Alice Springs for the holidays.
I am assuming from the photos already included that this is the type of photo you are after. this is one for the area I live in here at South Australia.
This is a little different to what was intended but I hope it still fulfills the requirements of the cache, because I think its in the same spirit - it shows the "city" limits of two suburbs in Adelaide - basically marking where one suburb ends and another begins. So depending on which way you're facing, I guess it's saying "welcome to Joslin" or "welcome to St Peters". But without the welcome bit.
Its also interesting that they chose a stone "mile marker" type sign to do this.

Signs like these are all over the place here to show you wich place you are entering. Although far from being a city, the nice village of Minnamurra is absolutely worthwhile a visit!
