Usually a sign to a suburb indicates that you’re at the start of something bigger. But not always. In the case of the mega-mysterious Bend of Islands, it just means there will be another sign a bit further up. And that’s it. OK, that’s not exactly it. Drive past the first welcoming sign (actually it’s not that welcoming; rather it lists a bunch of things you can’t do), wend your way around the narrow sealed road, and you’ll find yourself at a junction. Dirt roads head off in different directions, brought together by the only building in the area: the Christmas Hills Fire Brigade.
