A funny sign in Westonia, Western Australia

I found a funny notice in the Westonia Museum and thought I’d share it with you.
At one point in the museum, you could enter a dark room that looked like part of an underground mine. When you pressed a button, two miners started talking and they were setting off explosives. There was a very loud rumble and the room shook, much like the earthquake room in Cunderdin. I thought the sign was funny - one adult and 13 children - but maybe if school-children go with a teacher, then the sign makes more sense.

That is making the things perhaps "Too realistic" !
Is this museum pretty popular?
In general, I see that some museums in India too are getting more funding and making things attractive for the visitors.

The museums we've been seeing lately have all been very impressive. There always seems to be a few people going through the museums we've been to. We don't have the numbers that overseas cities might have but at least our museums are never crowded.

It still seems funny to me. Of course I would never want to supervise thirteen children, no matter how well behaved.

You're right about the adult and 13 children. I've never heard of anything like this.

@LindaOHio I guess any underground minings could be dangerous.

@JudyEv My husband worked in a salt mine for 25 years. I worried about him every day. One day some of the top (roof) fell on his hard hat and jammed his neck.

I think it's funny how specific the sign is about the ratio of adults and children.
