In several outback pubs in central Australia, including Cadney Homestead (below) and Stuarts Well Roadhouse, there's a prominent sign at the bar with the cryptic message "YCWCYODFTRFDTY":

enter image description here

What does this mean?

And I'll save you the trouble: at time of asking, Google doesn't know! (In the text results, at least, you may find the answer if you scrutinize the images well enough.) But if you do, please use spoiler markup (start line with >!) in your answer.

Update: This is, inevitably, now Google's top hit for the phrase. Some lazy bum ripped it off to Quora, and there's a creative answer there as well!

Actually, various sources on Google told me

"Your curiosity will cost you one dollar for the Royal Flying Doctor thank you" .

The Royal Flying Doctor Service provides routine and emergency medical services to remote rural communities throughout Australia.

Here's one source, scroll down a little way.

Edit:

it was my understanding that the RFDS was entirely funded by donations but it seems this is not the case. I've removed that reference from my answer, but don't let that stop you donating!
