Upside down map rant


The geography of Port Stephens and the Myall Lakes is complicated enough without this extra impediment. On a map on the waterfront at Tea Gardens they've made the map UPSIDE DOWN!

And to confuse us even more, the other side of the signboard has it the other (ie the correct, north up) way round.

So what's going on? I've been seeing more and more of this recently. I assume the relevant authorities have decided the punters can no longer handle the north at the top convention, and that we need to have the thing oriented for the way we're looking.

I for one don't find this useful at all. Hawks Nest is to the east of Tea Gardens, not to the west. STOP DOING IT PLEASE!
