Coast Road Graffiti
A few weeks back while driving between Lennox and Ballina I noticed three words in large letters painted in red on The Coast Road just north of the Flat Rock turnoff.
I always seemed to miss reading the strange words as I passed it every day. Either it came up on me too quick as I approached or there was too much traffic to slow down or the light was too bad or the angle wasn’t right and and even when I did slow right down I still couldn’t make sense of the words.
I asked a few friends and neighbours who had all seen it but they weren’t able to read what it said either.
It got to me so while driving with a friend the other morning we finally stopped to read it and after all the intrigue it’s still a mystery. GOOM SOXY ETHAN. What does that mean?
There are a few theories but my guess is they’re the names, or nicknames, of three people who had some quick drying, red enamel paint and too much time on their hands at a time when there was no traffic.
If any readers out there can shed some light, or would like to give us their theory, please leave it in the comments area below.
