This sign appears to date from the days of imperial measurements - the 4.8 kilometre distance probably covers 3 miles. Source: Peter Renshaw, November 2008.

Note how the right-pointing fingerboard incorrectly shows C646 towards Cygnet - Jetty Road is actually unnumbered. Also note the absence of a distance for Wattle Grove.
