with a difference in distance of 6km between London and Paris that would put the place some where on a line perpendicular to a line between Paris and London. Rome being further away would mean the place is on that Perpendicular wish line to the west of Paris. That puts it in the middle of the Atlantic some where so I will now guess the Azores

El Calafete?
Between El Calafate and El Chalten, so that's definitely close enough - over to you!

It's in a tiny middle-of-nowhere place called La Leona that's often used as a pee-break stop for buses.

Falklands?

Distances to Santiago and Buenos Aries don't make sense (unless they're inaccurate) for it to be Tierra del Fuego...


Edit: think the distances are off...Amsterdam can't be closer than Paris and London...plus the door-sign in Spanish, the Llama, and the flag which is...???

There is a very big version similar to this on the outskirts of Stanley. It's very different to this though lol.

Phone number on the board helps narrow it down.

Are we near Cairns? Or further south?

Daintree NP is QLD. smile

I've got a photo of the same style sign taken in the Daintree NP so it must be that area.

Further north - could be Cape Tribulation?

Edit: oops, didn't notice the land on the horizon so maybe not.

Ha, you are of course right, Daintree is in Qld. wink
For some reason I thought Kakadu (no, I have no idea why.. brain is f#cked.. the NP bit perhaps)

It’s not around Cairns, although it is a days drive

So east coast QLD, a day from Cairns, north enough to be in croc country but not more north than Cape Tribulation because you're not in a 4WD.

Maybe Port Douglas? Can't think how far from Cairns that is.

Townsville is about 4-5 hrs from Cairns, but I also think that’s where you are - the beach to the north of the town?

As for the sign itself, here’s a kids play area in Port Douglas...



Mid-centre left is a sign in the bush...
