I miss that signpost too.

Glen Dwight
Love that part of the world.

Ruth Naylor
I was over that way last year and there was a sign but you need a telescope to see it and read it.

Dorothy Wills
Pity it was removed, places mentioned on it that are not on any other sign post. Modern thinking I guess

Kaye McNabb
I agree. Let's start an uprising. Bring it back‼️

Roger O'Regan
Yes, great sign. Bring it back. Used to love going past that in the 60s knowing I was 'over the hump'.

Ruth Naylor
Did you know there was one at the top of the Rahu as well.

Naomi Tainui-Jones

Yes there is a sign but only has one thing on it . Might say summit and the height above sea level or something like that
Ross Davis
Was the road tarsealed back then or still shingle?

Ruth Naylor
What I like about the signs is when one is at the top it a sign of a run down to where you are going. The one at Rahu is " I am on my way home.
'
Arthur Bass
I have a photo of the one at the Rahu Summit in the gravel road days. Will see if I can find it.

Pete Lusk
