Re: Parking ticket for facing wrong way - help!
To be honest I dont know the differences yet. Been to Cairns a couple of times but not to Perth yet...intend doing that this year. The choice is due to OH, found Cairns too hot! Is there such a thing as too hot, blimey, I thought thats what a pool was for!

Re: Parking ticket for facing wrong way - help!
We were given a parking ticket just before Christmas for parking against the flow of traffic... a rule which we've never heard of before!!
What is the best way of appealing the ticket (as there was nothing on the sign apart from 1P or something), as we had no clue we were doing anything wrong. We weren't on a busy street or anything like that, just a quiet residential one.
Thanks!

Cough up and learn the lesson, we had one in Surfers for same thing they quote Aussie QLD Driving code which basically states you can't go against flow of traffic so should have been unable to get in spot so you are technically wrong.
Think you will lose at appeal we just payed the $24 and park the correct way now.

Just my opinion but this sort of fine is the very reason I think everyone should have to do at least the theory driving test. Just getting a straight swap, leaves too many little rules like that unknown. Let's face it, who, when they only have to get the licence swapped, would go and buy the driving code and read it
Bad luck lkj, won't be doing that again

We read the road rules before we came
(or should that be I 'made' my hubby read them 
)We did get a ticket for parking too close to a drive way though when we first got here (even though we weren't
Not going to Glenelg again!!)

We read the road rules but didn't find any that mentioned parking the wrong bl@@dy way... and didn't take going against flow of trafic to mean parking.

Glad it wasn't just me then
I wasn't sure if it meant that or not so I asked my Aunt, that's one of the great things about my move - if I'm not sure I've got someone to ask.

Quite agree ,but have had one ticket quashed for parking in an actual spot that policeman decided wasn't a spot. Took photos of the parking spots, signs and Policemans car illegally parked and sent of to Superintendent of local police ticket was withdrawn.
