Stop...sign?!?

Taken in the tiny town of Whitecliffs, NSW. This town is the location of the largest open cut opal mine in the country. There are holes all over the country side, not the place to be walking around without looking! Not to mention the locals are not keen on unwelcome visitors!
The man who wrote this sign showed us around his claim! Originally from Holland, ‘Patch’ was a wonderful guide for the students and me, he was a character full of stories of the area.
Anyway it was a sign that caught my eye!

Stop...sign?!? belongs to the following groups:

As Is, Bits and Pieces , Dutch Touch and Street Signs
