Mounted, framed and under glass, a sign with instructions for guests at the Appian Beach House, Magnetic Island , attracted this rummaging blogger's attention during an op shop tour . It refers to possums who visit at night , leaving behind faeces and urine , so refrain from feeding them .On the other hand , it is okay to feed kookaburras. Please do not feed Australian wildlife bread .
It was made doubly interesting by discovering on the back an all the best for 1996 handwritten message which seemed to indicate it was from people from Wagga Wagga , New South Wales , who had a memorable stay at the guest house , and had souvenired the instructions and had them framed .
The Appian Beach House , handy to beaches and a pub, featured in the following real estate advertisement when it sold for $675,000. An imitation crocodile graced the side of the pool.
