We came across this sign at a free campsite while travelling through Corfield in outback QLD near Winton. We thought it was a classic and maybe there should be more around!
G'day. Great sign and sentiment but (sorry I can't help my self) can any one see the mistake?
Cheers.

As the great man once said
No matter where you are
Always remember where you have come from
Most of us would have been in a tent, at one time or another

We use a caravan, an off-road camper trailer for remote places & a 3 roomed tent, we have no particular preference for either. We use the tent when we tow our 17ft boat.
We'd love to see how some of these ''euro luxury glampers'' would go under canvas for a few nights. Great sign, LOVE IT!

Yes Tony . I have an "Ex billionaire" friend who lost a personal fortune of 9b.
With this American downturn as well as his 3 companies & a castle here in Aussie.
He did not even have a tent he was homeless for two yrs . But was humble enough to wear
a deceased mans suit , that did not fit him properly & a $5 gift for the train fare to get the job
that picked him up . Yep . There , but for the grace . Go I.

Billioner and others. That go broke. are usually Entepreneurs who don't know when to stop. Greedy. Too much expansion. NO backup. One downturn. ALL gone.
Unless you have a missus with enough nouse to put aside the family nest egg in her name.
My Missus was an Entrepeneur on small scale. Owned a Bingo Business in Melbourne. Not leased. Owned.
Making you own money had nothing on that. Gov't Guarantee of 14% of all takings. 4\700 seats x 2 a day. 364 days a yr. Bought it for 1\4 mil. Sold for $3m.
The "broke" city persons are where the big money is. Believe me. Dreamers. One day. maybe. And she was only one of the small ones there. You wouldn't believe the money floating round in those places. City's.
