Description
As we were walking around the Jericho showgrounds on a recent visit there we came across a turnstile and wondered if there are many still remaining around the country. Let us see the turnstiles that you discover on your travels.
A turnstile, also called a baffle gate or turnstyle, is a form of gate which allows one person to pass at a time. It can also be made so as to enforce one-way traffic of people, and in addition, it can restrict passage only to people who insert a coin, a ticket, a pass, or similar. Wikipedia
To log a find, please take a photograph of the turnstyle. GPS/or selfie is optional.
You can log this locationless as many times as you desire, providing that there is another geocachers log entry between your log entry.
Happy cahing!!

Today, as we entered the Waterworks Reserve in Hobart, we noticed a single turnstile next to the entrance gate. Two photos have been added to the Gallery: a view of the entrance gate showing the turnstile at the right hand side; a photo of Mrs y'stassie standing at the turnstile. Thanks Gullivers Travels54 for the cache.
Lake Centenary in Temora, NSW
I knew about this turnstile and I thought about making a new locationless cache. After getting home today from the lake, I took a look to see if anyone already published a cache with this theme and discovered Gullivers Travels54 beat me to it. Anyway, it is another added to the list. TFTLC

When we saw this cache published we knew which turnstile we'd be using for our log and for once we didn't have to travel all over to find it. The heritage listed Nirvana Monument was built as a memorial by Alfred Perrott who lost his eldest son in WWI. He sectioned off the corner of his property to build the public war memorial. The turnstile has symbols of the army and navy worked into the handles.

Well it's my turn to claim a stylish FTF haw haw haw. As soon as I saw this cache published I thought of the turnstile at Gosford Railway Station (NSW) that I pass through most days. It's a one-way turnstile to allow people to quickly access platform 1, but to get out of the station from any platform you have to go up the stairs, or take the lift. I don't know how old the turnstile is, and there's no other at the station. You used to be able to buy and drink beer on in between platforms 1 and 2, and there's a sign or there still that suggests beer is available. Good ol' Gosford Station! 
I remember there is (or used to be) a similar one-way turnstile at the bottom of Taronga Zoo, I was a casual teacher there once with a school group and one of the kids managed to exit the Zoo and couldn't get back in. Drama!
I look forward to seeing the turnstile pics from others!
