Villawood

The sign is fairly normal, but its location isn't.
(See the next two photos)


Villawood

The council could make a fortune in fining cars in this typical street - Gundaroo Street, Villawood.

Villawood

And it's not just one mistake - we have a further warning half-way up.

Wakeley

Do we only get one? Humphries Road, Wakeley, is economical with praise.


Wentworth Point

If you're into signwriting, you might offer your services at a discount for businesses in Hill Road, Wentworth Point

There. That'll stop anyone from getting into our place in Woodstock Avenue, Whalan.

If you get booked for parking in Armstrong Street East, North Willoughby, you have an excellent court case. Besides the obvious (“But I wasn’t standing, Your Worship”) you have photographic evidence of the hidden “No Standing” sign.


Willoughby East

In North Willoughby the compass point qualifier comes before Willoughby; in the official title for this suburb East follows Willoughby. In North Willoughby, shopkeepers call it Willoughby North; naturally here in Willoughby East they call it East Willoughby!


Woollahra

Luckily the boss gave me another chance to get my Smith Street sign right.


Woollahra

Verdict in Moncur Street, Woollahra: Solictor exceeds boundaries of what is generally considered to be acceptable.


Woronora

At Woronora, what we really meant was: Danger Long Grass.

Answer to question under Lakemba re double u's. Continuum is another word with a double 'u'. Others include residuum, menstruum and triduum. Or you can cheat by claiming wall, west or Waddell.
