All the signage seems to be made by the locals as can be seen by the photos below. most of the road leading into Basalt is gravel - there are no shops, or facilities of any kind. What the locals do seem to have though is a sense of humour in abundance.

| As we left Basalt, we were offered other towns to visit - maybe next time. In the distance is Mt Franklin, an extinct volcano. Within the mouth of the volcano is a camping ground with walking tracks to explore. Mt Franklin is also known for its Spring Water. You just don't what you'll find when exploring off the main roads. |
