"Only in Melbourne! This tea towel cracks me up every time I see it. It’s the perfect mix of practical and iconic and yep, I still avoid doing a hook turn!"

Jess


Description

MMI PRODUCT CODE: TT03

Melbourne’s most confusing icon on a tea towel, “Right Turn from Left Only.” If you’ve driven through Melbourne, you’ve probably faced the dreaded hook turn and maybe even panicked mid-intersection. First introduced in 1916 to keep the roads clear for our beloved trams, the hook turn has gone from a practical road rule to a total rite of passage. It’s baffled tourists, learner drivers, and even locals for over a century. So much so, it’s now got its own fan club of how-to videos and internet explainers.

We thought it was time the hook turn got the recognition it deserves, in our Iconic Hook Turn Tea Towel form. Whether you’ve mastered it or still avoid it like a pothole on Swanston Street, this design celebrates one of Melbourne’s most iconic (and confusing) street signs.

WHY YOUR CUSTOMERS WILL LOVE IT:

-          Features Melbourne’s iconic Hook Turn sign, confusing, but lovable
-          A fun nod to local culture, road rules, and tram pride
-          The perfect gift for Melbourne locals, visitors, or nervous drivers
-          Guaranteed to spark a laugh (or a driving debate) in the kitchen
-          Stylish enough to hang, practical enough to use
-          A stylish keepsake or thoughtful gift for Melbourne lovers

Add a little urban chaos to your kitchen, or gift it to someone who loves all things Melbourne, road rage optional. The hook turn – a street sign turned iconic.
