Building demolition downtown revealed this ghost sign on the neighboring building. Comuntzi's was a famous eatery in town for decades ("Where dear old dad took his gal" or something was their slogan), but it has closed many years ago.

Right up the Central and Northern coasts of Queensland, signs like this are very common warnings of the dangers of swimming, more so in the summer months in the warm waters of the tropics. Of course, there are also the other signs warning of crocodiles.
The marine stingers are the commonly fatal sea wasp or box jellyfish as well as the tiny irakandji which is also a jellyfish like creature. Many beaches have stinger nets but as I understand it, these cannot guarantee stingers stay out, especially the tiny irakandjis. Full body suits made of lycra or similar material are also used by swimmers, particularly out of the Great Barrier Reef.
Box jellyfish can inflict terrible wounds and can and are quickly lethal. Not a species to play around with. Irakandjis can also be lethal, especially if the person stung experiences an adverse allergic reaction. Both are extremely painful.
It has been noticed that as waters warm with rising global temperatures, the irakandjis in particular are moving south.
This sign is at one of the beaches in the northern suburbs of Townsville.

Dating back to 1923 the Hollywood sign was originally a real estate stunt, but is now an iconic symbol of the Los Angeles movie industry. Ryan used just over 8,500 bricks to recreate the giant letters, including some colourful graffti on the back of them!
And the end of the English language. The first thing I thought of when I saw this was Vegemite and Marmite. My mind can be very strange..

In the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of night and day; in the ships that sail the oceans for the benefit of mankind; in the water that God sends down from the sky, and revives the earth with it after it had died, and scatters in it all kinds of creatures; in the changing of the winds, and the clouds disposed between the sky and the earth; are signs for people who understand.
