Signs at Honeysuckle

 

Over the life of Honeysuckle Creek, signs were posted at the start of the access road (now Apollo Road) near the intersection with Naas Road, along the road to the station to indicate that cars should not proceed durung critical periods, and at rthe Station gate, near the guard hut.

Here’s a collection of those signs (why not?).

 

Near the start of the Road.
