Today, I drove to Ariah Park, still in the Temora Shire, and Barmedman in the Bland Shire of New South Wales...
Not only did the scenery enchant me, but the signs were quite interesting...
Notice the picture gallery of significant symbols for Temora Shire...
The Ariah Park sign, in Temora Shire, uses the same technique of significant and somewhat similar symbols...
The major difference appears below in metal...Birthplace of Australian Bulk Grain...
*Not till I uploaded this photo did I notice that a Tin Hut sign appeared to the left in the background...
I have no idea what that is all about...
Further, this stylised sign on an Ariah Park's building's side wall intrigued me...
The sign appears to suggest that Plume Motor Spirit was used for cars, but TROVE 26.8.1920 suggests it was being used for aeroplanes...
In 1916, the Vacuum Oil Company introduced its popular "Plume" (petrol) and "Laurel" (kerosene) brands to the Australian market...
Finally, the sign that appears when leaving Temora Shire needs a mention...
It represents a nod to Paleface Adios (1969–1989) who was an Australian harness-racing horse that competed as a pacer throughout the 1970s and early 1980s.
Paleface Adios was foaled in Temora...
