On their way back from Tunbridge, Tasmania, to Brisbane on the Newell Highway, Barb and Mal stopped off in Goondiwindi. This is a junction of the Cunningham, Newell, Bruxner, Barwon and Leichhardt Highways on the border between New South Wales and Queensland. It is a rambling Queensland Darling Downs settlement that spreads for kilometres around the old Customs House on the banks of the Macintyre River.
This signpost at the old Customs House caught their eye:

The old Customs House, which is located on the town side of the main bridge across the Macintyre, has been converted into the Goondiwindi Museum. It is a typical rural folk museum by all accounts.

I'm not sure what a signing post is.
