Title: The Sign at the Airport!
Post by: Michael Alexander on July 11, 2012, 06:43:06 PM
This always tickles me.... When you leave the Oranjemund Airport.... you encounter this sign.... Now I wonder which person actually lands at this airport and then wonders which way it is too Oranjemund, seeing at there is only one town, on one road , in a restricted area.... A smile broke across my face as I walked past it this afternoon....

Michael It's a bit like Uluru or Ayres Rock

Uluru (English pronunciation: /ˌuːluːˈruː/), also known as Ayers Rock, is a large sandstone rock formation in the southern part of the Northern Territory, central Australia. It lies 335 km (208 mi) south west of the nearest large town, Alice Springs, 450 km (280 mi) by road. Kata Tjuta and Uluru are the two major features of the Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park. Uluru is sacred to the Anangu, the Aboriginal people of the area. The area around the formation is home to a plethora of springs, waterholes, rock caves and ancient paintings. Uluru is listed as a World Heritage Site.
