Angela Freeman Interview 13Aug19

Paul chats with the owner of Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures Angela Freeman who has raised concerns over a new tourist sign erected on the Captain Cook Highway which she believes is potentially dangerous.

A series of signs pointing out tourism highlights along the scenic drive have recently been put up, including one for the popular Rex Lookout.

Angela says the sign at Wangetti indicates the lookout 2km ahead is on the right and this wrongfully implied motorists should turn right at the lookout, rather than using the car park on the left.

Angela and her family were almost in a serious crash at the lookout and wants something done about the confusion.

The lookout is located on a sharp corner with double white lines where a right-hand turn from the northbound lane is illegal.
