Cee’s Fun Photo Challenge: Signs & Navigation Aids


Transportation is one of my favourite photography subjects so I’m looking forward to this series. Today’s photos come from my archives but as I will be travelling for a couple of months some future ones may be taken on the road.

Here are a couple taken on rural roads here in Tasmania. I was especially taken with the pair that point to Smithton in opposite directions. It’s actually a scenic loop of the Tarkine forest so it does make sense, kind of.

I always look for these city maps when I’m out and about. Here’s a couple from Hobart, an older one and the newer style that they have now.

You need a map to navigate your way around a cruise ship.

Taswegian1957

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs,Teddy and Brodie and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly.
