Cows!
Photograph of a vast green field and hills rising to mountains in the distance. Dozens of black cows are grazing in the field, so tiny against the landscape and the sky.

War anywhere causes bleeding everywhere.
Photograph from a distance of a modest, sincere, war memorial. Red flowers form a curved border around the statue of a soldier. White trees stripped of their leaves stand between them. A single figure wearing dark clothes sits on a bench looking into the distance.

Trees consuming the house-shaped corpses of their ancestors.

(I'm pretty happy with that sentence.)
A small abandoned wooden building, collapsed sideways, disappearing into the leaves of a large nearby shrub.

Perhaps the goats are giddy because of all the caffeine? The Giddy Goat Café has 5 stars on Google from nearly 500 reviews.

If there's not at least one piece of goat-related paraphernalia inside I'd be disappointed. So I'm just going to imagine there is.
Black sign above red patio umbrellas. The sign is for the Giddy Goat Café in green letters that look like chalk.

Fire risk was low when this photo was taken (August 2024).
White fire risk sign showing a dial showing green, yellow, orange and red, each indicating a greater risk of fire danger for that day. The arrow is in the green section.

Okay, let's do this. Heading north into Yarck along the Maroondah Highway.
Two-lane road. On the right it is lined by native gums and dry grass. On the left there is a three-pronged electricity pole and an empty green expanse.

Flicking back and forth between them my eyes were so confused. 😵‍💫

This is my favourite. A place already familiar to many of us: Cope Street.
A leaning street sign reads "Cope St." against a backdrop of green leaves and grass and a narrow grey road.

Turtles! A giant catfish!
Local swimming pool exterior decorated with a mural that features turtles, an alarmingly large catfish and other lil fish, along with elements of Australian indigenous art.

Is this sign mildly threatening, or is it just me?
Green sign with stylised "adventure style" font that reads BONALBO. Beneath it, the words: "We've got it all -- EXCEPT YOU!"

DON'T ROCKS..? Rocks will fling up from other cars, and shatter your windscreen in this area. Fittingly, it looks like rocks have flung up and knocked the sign over.
Yellow road sign warning about loose rocks on the road with a basic diagram of cars, rocks and a shattered windscreen.

Unlike many Australian towns, you can readily buy beer in Bonalbo.
Red brick wall featuring signs displaying beer prices and the grey exteriors of air-conditioning units.

The post office has a big stamp on it.
A sign shaped like a postage stamp. The image is a stylised artwork depicting the local environment, people on bikes (?), cows and native birds. The stamp costs $1.10. I assume the sign costs a great deal more.

Didn't I say I wasn't here for pretty?

Amanda's hot pink realty sign is hard to miss.

But I'm not here for pretty. I'm here for SIGNS. Let's do this.

It's pretty!
Hills covered in long native grasses roll off into the distance, punctuated by clusters of young gum trees. In the distance the low dark rise of a taller hill can be seen, against a picturesque blue sky.
