Hi Guys

Some big changes on the way for the web site. A new mobile friendlier site design will hopefully be live in the next few months.
In the meantime, the last ever update to the current site design has been completed an uploaded.
You will find a heap of freeway green and black signs in among the pages that feature 2002 or 2003 images.
Thanks to Michael Greenslade and Alexander Cszarnecki for their contributions.

So far I've only had a chance to look at the old photos of the Bruce Highway (kinda jumped on that one the second I saw it) and boy I loved seeing those old green signs again! Not to mention the Deception Bay Road interchange in its second arrangement (the fourth is well underway now) with the old loop signage and the Y junction sign. Can't wait to go and see the rest when I get home!

Glad you're enjoying them! MG certainly got in on the roadgeeking act nice and early. I took a handful of photos on 35mm in the 90s, but it was too expensive for processing, so stopped!
