How many have you seen? Australia is home to unique road signs and here are some of our favourites... 🚧
Let's start with the big one... Out on the Nullarbor you'll spot a sign warning you about camels, wombats and kangaroos, all on the same post. 🐪 Yes, actual wild camels. There are hundreds of thousands of them roaming outback Australia and most people have no idea.
Koala crossing signs along the roads are probably one of the popular ones 🐨 Great Ocean Road and the Adelaide Hills are two of the best spots for them, about as cute as road safety gets. The reason they're there is simple though, koalas cross at night moving between trees and drivers don't see them coming.
Up in the Daintree you'll find cassowary crossing signs 🦤 for a giant flightless bird that can hurt you if it wants to.
Head further into the Northern Territory outback and you'll spot the classic kangaroo signs everywhere 🦘
Then the tone shifts fast 🐊 crocodile warning signs mean exactly what they say, so stay well back from the water's edge, we're not kidding!
Not every sign out here is about wildlife though. Floodway signs turn up on outback roads that go months without seeing a drop of rain.
