I hope you enjoyed
my last collection of unusual signs. However, as I continue to digitalise my old slides, I continue to find new signs to include, so I have decided to make a new collection. As before, this post will be up-dated at irregular intervals until it is sufficiently large to be closed, and a new collection started.

| Fremantle, Western Australia, 1998 |
This one is not, strictly speaking, a sign,but rather a graffito. But it's a clever one.
 |
| Singapore Zoo, 1984 |
It would never have occurred to me to climb into a Siberian tiger enclosure, but you should never underestimate the stupidity of tourists.

| Gibbon enclosure, Singapore Zoo, 1984 |
 |
| Gunshot Creek, Cape York, QLD 1986 |
 |
| Cane Toad Creek, Cape York, QLD 1986 |
 |
| Thursday Island, QLD, 1986 |

Pine Creek service station,
Northern Territory, 1987 |
 |
| Goma, Zaire (now D. R. Congo) 1990 |
 |
| Jardine River Ferry, Cape York, QLD 1986 |
How times change! Since I visited Goma, it has been overwhelmed by refugees from the eruption of Mt. Nyiragongo, and from the civil war. I doubt if this shop still exists.

| Cameroon, 1990 |
 |
| Bauchi, Nigeria, 1990 |
 |
| Kano, Nigeria, 1990 |
"Native doctor" is the official term for witchdoctor. I'm sorry I didn't visit this fellow. I could have done with some help regarding promotion and love charms, not to mention "dhyerhea".
 |
| Lomé, Togo, 1990 |
You saw this sort of thing at hairdresser's shops all over Africa. It is a clever way for the customer to indicate his or her style.
