<p>The Southland Times today reports this one &#8211; <a href="http://www.stuff.co.nz/oddstuff/3058463/Fake-signs-may-drop-Routeburn-walkers-into-the-brown-stuff">see story here</a>.</p>
<p>DOC, rightly, is a bit concerned that confused tourists might take them literally and get into trouble &#8212; more so with the one that says the toilet is up a cliff, than the tramping nappies one! &#8212; but DOC&#8217;s Richard Kennett said he could also see the funny side.</p>
<p>Southland tramping stalwart Robin McNeill reakons: &#8220;The signs were either an elaborate prank or a message to the tourism industry to not muscle in on the recreationists&#8221;.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s another one a friend sent me!</p>
