Beach Sign

More signage news from around the world from Hants and Dorset Signs as in Australia a warning sign occupied a prominent spot near the entrance to ‘Little Beach’ at Red Rock for about 17 years before it was unceremoniously pulled down in mid-2009. According to Red Rock stalwart Peter ‘Pedro’ McHenry, the sign was painted by local signwriter Kevin Convery, now deceased, to warn visitors about the very real dangers of Little Beach on the outgoing tide.

“There are two rip currents that move about 25-26 knots out of the Red Bank River, one to North Beach and one round the headland to the south,” Mr McHenry, a foundation life member of the Red Rock-Corindi Surf Life Saving Club, said.

“If you’re not a keen swimmer you’ll get into trouble ... there’s also a lot of rocks and boulders there.”

Mr McHenry, a former prominent radio broadcaster, said Coffs Harbour City Council (CHCC) told the surf club the sign didn’t meet the Australian Standards and needed to come down.

Before locals knew it – the sign had come down just after Easter last year, causing uproar from surf club members and general residents alike.
