Local to me the 'Great North Walk' is signposted in many different ways.
e.g.
Post with directional arrows
http://thegreatnorthwalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/ww_photo_Looking-into-Mulbinga-Street.jpg
Some of these posts have no name plate so those may not be recognized by
those unfamiliar.
Signboard

Register

There are signboards indicating ways to the Great North Walk ..
unfortunately labeled 'Great North Walk' leaving off the 'To the' so
leading to miss-tagging of these paths/tracks - they are 'approach'
paths/tracks/roads.
