Comments on: Top 8 Animal Street Signs from Australia and New Zealand http://www.vagabondquest.com/oceania/australia/top-8-animal-street-signs-from-australia-and-new-zealand/ Dispatches from a pair of permanent travelers Sun, 08 Jan 2012 01:03:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: I Hart Travel http://www.vagabondquest.com/oceania/australia/top-8-animal-street-signs-from-australia-and-new-zealand/comment-page-2/#comment-34291 I Hart Travel Tue, 25 Oct 2011 03:31:08 +0000 http://www.vagabondquest.com/?p=2057#comment-34291 Great posts! I actually think that the pedestrian crossing signs in QLD and NSW are funny too. The sign makes it look like you have to be a well-dressed person to cross the street. Great posts!

We should consider lucky to see 2 tree kangaroos then, they were beside one of the falls. We love Granite Gorge, we did the hike on the rocks, it felt cool to be surrounded by gigantic boulders. We also fed the wallabies with the pellets, those little cute things are so eager to be fed. We saw a platypus there! We were really quite behind the fence, and really enjoying watching it playing around in the water! Cassowary is the only thing we couldn't find from the street signs. So it's quite rare sight, eh! It’s great to get a local’s feedback!

Is iguana protected there? Sounds like Ticos love iguana so much that they will swerve for a small animal. I would totally jump up and down if I see iguana signs! Is iguana protected there?

Sometimes someone at the local markets will have a tame tree kangaroo they've rescued in the wild. Not very often but it does happens. Granite Gorge is the most amazing place. The place stretches out for kms, rocks are all gigantic and it's a good place for a hike. The wallabies are quite tame and sometimes they sell pellets to feed the wallabies with. If you ever want to see a kangaroo go to Mareeba golf course. You can always see heaps of kangaroos there. Always. There are some platypus signs at at Petersons Creek in Yungaburra but platypus are extremely shy so it's rare to see them. I've never seen a cassowary in all my years of living here. People I know have seen them so they are there though. Although the animal signs don't guarantee there will be those animals there they're a nice feature to the road and I'm glad they're there.

One of my favorite things about traveling is discovering the interesting signs (satisfies the designer in me:). And Julio and I are dying to go to Australia! When you come to Costa Rica, you can add iguana signs to your collection. Ticos (Costa Ricans) go out of their way and even endanger themselves to avoid running over animals, so be prepared for sudden stops and crazy swerving! LOVE this post!

About the cow, I don't think it will look that way in such an accident. more like the car hit the cow's legs, the cow massive body crashes on the windshield and lands between you and Jack. - Don't try!

I haven't seen emu and wombat sign, I think. I really want to see wombat one. That cow beats the car sign is funny, but sad in the same time. Maybe not funny at all if we actually picture in our mind that it can happen... :) Must be welcoming indeed, those kangaroo signs. I haven’t seen emu and wombat sign, I think.

I really know I am back home when I see a kangaroo sign. We also have Emu and wombat signs as well, but you can't go past that cow roughing up the car sign. Great post.
