Is this the entrance or maybe not?

Near Westonia is an open-pit gold mine which is now in mothballs for about the third time in its life. The public can walk up to a viewing station which is what we did. The Edna May Gold Mine was named after the sister of the prospector who discovered gold there in 1911.
The entry sign threw us a bit as we approached. The arrows point at each other and seem to end at a point where both gates are closed. We thought maybe it was closed to the public for some reason. However the entry is at right angles to the gates you can see here so once you get there you just step around the right-hand post and go through a smaller personnel gate.

You could see down into the extensive open-cut area. I'll write more about it and add a photo.

There was an entry way there. It seemed a bit of a strange set-up but it worked. lol

Looks like it is the entrance since they show where you should go,

That would be confusing. We have also come across such confusing signs and arrows. Maybe they want to give some brain teasers to people

Once we got to the gates, it was very simple and no trouble at all.
