Paul Barry writes that Alan Bond was apprenticed to Parnell Signs at the age of 14, despite having failed their spelling test. Local legend used to have it that Bond painted the Dingo Flour sign, but it is known that he did not, and that it was Les Nash who created it in 1940. It was repainted in 1946 by Fred Parnell, of Parnell Signs.
