And most are vastly different to what was on the freeway in the
early to mid 80s, with a couple of exceptions.

Not one of those are black signs. They're all full reflective
green signs installed in the 90s.

Unfortunately GSV has colour issues on the older images. Sam from
Ozroads has photos of the 1980s black signs along the Old Pacific
Hwy.

Quite a few people do it and want to do it. I'd love to give it a
go one day. I have done large swathes of it and will be doing a
return trip from the east coast to west coast again later in the
year, all going well.

Signage for NR1 across the top between Normanton and Borroloola
is not consistent, as a National Route is not normally signposted
on unsealed roads, and some unsealed sections still remain.

Definitely.
When we drove around Australia in 1974 it wasn’t there. Somewhere out near Mount Surprise, there was a sign saying “End 1”

Was there a time in Highway 1’s life where it didn’t have a section that cut across from Darwin to cairns via Burke Dev road?

I also found some interesting pictures from the same group.
Pacific Hwy, Mooney Point in the 1940/50s, with a toll plaza, north of the bridge. (I didn't know that)
Pacific Hwy, West Gosford in the 1970s (Hasn't been duplicated yet)

Has a nice NR1 marker on it and seems to have a black background.

Very nice find! There used to be few signs in that style around that area when I was a kid in the 80s. Even on the Pacific Hwy itself.

Streetview confirms this, though the imagery is mostly from 2008

I will get to drive SOME of this route on 20th July for a work trip. But only Normanton to Atherton Tablelands unfortunately. It seems I cannot come up with anyone who will pay me to drive to Burketown and into NT.

I believe there is still a big gap in western QLD - no NR1 signage between Normanton area and the NT Border. Inside NT there are some signs with NH1(!) on Wollogorang Road, but also not comprehensive.
