Experimental Travellers around the world are putting Yellow Arrows in urban places that mean something to them. Be part of the experiment by sticking a Yellow Arrow in a meaningful spot - be it a forgotten alleyway, a car park or a phone box.

Experimental Traveller Anubis:

Walk into a quiet car park after hours in Melbourne's CBD and you might just stumble across my yellow arrow, stuck on the underside of an air-vent. My arrow's purpose was not to point out my own special parking spot, but to mark the place where someone was murdered in the 1950's - her ghost is often seen walking on the balcony above. I've yet to see her ghost but I'm fascinated and more than slightly freaked out by the story.

Do-It-Yourself


To get started you'll need your own Yellow Arrows. To find them, check out the back of The Lonely Planet Guide to Experimental Travel or log on to Yellow Arrow. Each Yellow Arrow has a unique code that makes it distinguishable from another. Once you've chosen your special spot and your arrow is in place, SMS its code and your message to the numbers given on the arrow. Take a photo of your arrow and post it to the Yellow Arrow website. Your picture will then appear with all the other Yellow Arrows in the Experimental Travel Project Gallery.
