Actually I think it might have IN FACT been embarrassing. This photo was taken on the way back out from Simpson's Gap along the access road back to the main road. I could have sworn that when we first got just a glimpse of the sign on the way in to the gap it looked all singed around the edges. It all looked brand new on the way back past it. Perhaps that may explain why there are two similar posts there together and only one sign. Also the other post has burnt grass closer to the bottom of it. I suspect a quick and sneaky replacement before we came back
