i wanted to share some of the pictures of signs we took while in australia. the only really funny one is the one above…we just couldn’t stop laughing over it! the guy in that car is having one doozy of a day…i mean, how would the lines even get like that??!
all of these photos (except the bottom one) were taken on kangaroo island in australia and i seriously can’t gush enough about it. it’s absolutely gorgeous and lush and teeming with all sorts of wildlife because no predators have ever been introduced to the island. sea lions, kangaroos, fur seals, koalas, penguins - amazing! (it was my first spotting of a koala in the wild and trust me, i had been looking!! i was determined to see one in the wild – it made my year, i swear!).
it was so fun coming across those differences – like seeing a kangaroo sign (we stopped to take the photo and i know, this sounds like i’m making it up, but i swear…a kangaroo hopped on by right before we snapped the pic! of course, we missed getting the photo…they’re fast!)


this is a beach report sign from palm cove, australia – notice the “please slip, slop, slap” love it!! (i think it was for slip on a hat, slop on sunscreen…but i don’t remember what slap was for…does anyone know?)

I love the kanga sign…that island sounds like paradise. So interesting about the no predators.
Awesome! I would love seeing one of these on my morning commute ;o)
those animals are soo cute!! i totally want to go to australia so i can see the real life versions of them hehe! well i just REALLY REALLY want to visit australia one day!!
i love the signs! Kangaroos are so cute! I’d love to see one in person.
Well you are all welcome to come down and see us at any time
The Slip, Slop Slap campaign has been around for a while and was started to combat our shockingly high skin cancer rates. It has a really catching jingle. It’s slip on a shirt, slop on some sunscreen and slap on a hat.
thank you kellie!! we couldn’t remember and it was driving us nuts
Slip Slop Slap. I love it. I’m a maniac about sunscreen! But somehow I failed at the beach on Sunday. And now I have a splotchy red bottom. Not enough slip slopping.
