Wierd Signage

We saw some pretty funny signs in the Tasman Penninsula. There is actually a town (more like a hamlet) called "Doo". All the houses have names that contain the word "Doo". For example, "Digeri-Doo", "Scooby-Doo", "Doo-come-in", "Love-me-Doo", and so on!

The tourist spots are well-provided with toilet facilities, but this leads to some amusing signboards. One seems to indicate that the toilet is known locally as a "Blowhole"! (Stop that sniggering...)

The other one presumably warns you that your picture will be taken when you go to the toilet! *GRIN*
