I like the sign. Too often when it says half an hour you do not know if this was half an hour, one way, return, or indeed if it is the speed of a speeding park ranger or a dawdling family with a pram.<br \/>\n<a title=\"Go to the photo page\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/2437864397\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/2091\/2437864397_a7f0384ef3_t.jpg\" alt=\"Cocoparra National Park\" \/><\/a> <a title=\"Go to the photo page\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/2437864475\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/2316\/2437864475_70284dc6e5_t.jpg\" alt=\"Cocoparra National Park\" \/><\/a> <a title=\"Go to the photo page\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/2437864629\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/2161\/2437864629_c2dd1023a6_t.jpg\" alt=\"Cocoparra National Park\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAlong the path, you can see that this are is still in fully blown drought. Have a look and then thing, only a few days before it had rained. Obviously they need somewhat more rain.
