Just happened to know that there's an Orchard Creek in Tasmania.

Actually I have probably driven about the same number of miles/kilometres on the left as I have on the right and I have to say I find that driving on the right feels more natural.

I guess because you grew up with right driving. Imagine you grew up in GB, JP or AUS, you would possibly feel the exact opposite.

Actually the opposite is true. I grew up driving on the left. That's why I thought it was significant to mention that I am more comfortable with driving on the right. Of course it may also have something to do with having lost my left eye. Who knows.

Tango has the best solution...drive down the middle.

Ah okay, that also explains it. Where did you grew up, if I may ask.

Driving in the middle is not the best solution. Simply fly over it.  biggrin

  I think Tango drives in the middle because he see's 3 roads and picks the middle,lol.   cheers2 bigdrink driving nono biggrin

  JK,Tango,I know some have been pretty sensitive these days and I don't want to start another battle,lol.

  But Fire in the US we point our signs toward the roads so drivers can read them,lol,not the woods. The only times that I ever drove on the left was back in my drinking days,lol,it will get you arrested here,lol.  bigdrink driving smash

That sign is facing the driver...its just that there is so much vegetation around that it looks like its facing the bushland
