Don't park or you'll be toad!

Sign at Frog Hollow, Lowden, Western Australia

I’ve talked about Gnomesville in Western Australia many times on myLot but so far I haven’t mentioned Frog Hollow. If you’re curious about Gnomesville, it is probably easiest to do a search for the word on here. There is a small shop on the highway where people turn off to go to Gnomesville. Opposite the shop is space to park and an old unused railway. This has now been designated ‘Frog Hollow’ and a number of frogs are appearing there in hollow logs and in trees. I’m not sure how it started but perhaps the store-owner is hoping to gain some extra business from people stopping to check out the frogs. We stopped to have a look last Sunday as we hadn’t been there before. The first thing that took my eye was the sign you see in the photo. I thought I’d share it with you and do another post later with a photo of some of the frogs.

What a great sign. I expect that the toads are hopping mad about it.

@JudyEv Rightly so. We should start a campaign "Equality for Toads".

I think those responsible got toad off. And the toads are now suing on the grounds of discrimination.

@m_audrey6788 I had a "beware of the dog" sign. It was a small dog, and people could have walked on the dog without seeing it.

Sounds like a good place to hide a frog themed geocache. I have a pink and white sign my parents bought me years ago that says “Princess parking only all others will be toad.”

Geocaching is quite popular here. How nice that you're a Princess - or were! I guess you're now much more a Queen!

A bit too sophisticated for me, that sign! I wonder if it was easy for the shop owner to order for new signs like that? (Do they have a mould or something?)

It's just the spelling is wrong. If something is to be towed away it's spelt 'towed' but of course 'toad' and 'frog' go together.

@JudyEv ah! I thought it had something to do with towed away, but however I looked at it, it just looked too confusing for me. FROG and TOAD do sound interesting together in that sign.
