Hi, if coming from the road with the blue circle and wanting to go onto the road with the red circle, which lane should you take on approach and how should you indicate?

The first exit is clearly marked as an exit, but the piece of road after that (just before the road where you are exiting) is not. Is it another road that cars can enter/exit the roundabout, or just a break in the greenery? It doesn't have any road markings.

Yes it's another road where cars can enter and exit(it's the only picture i can find similar to the roundabout in newcastle west).

12 o clock always applies. Any exit after 12, approach in the right hand lane if there are two lanes with your right indicator on and signal left at the exit when passing the exit before the one you are taking.

Thanks. The one there looks to be about on 12 o clock or just after. If on 12 o clock approach on the left and signal left after the exit just before it correct?

What I'd do:
Right lane and indicate right. Indicate to left as soon as there is no confusion of which exit you will take (just after passing exit 2). The switch from indicating right to left should be almost instantaneous.
Left lane is for exits 1 and 2, before 12 o'clock.

If there was a destination board on approach you would take your guidance from it. If it showed exit as past 12 o'clock then right lane on approach signalling right at last exit before yours signal left and move left to exit

I would be in the outside lane and signal after I had just past the second turn that I was taking the next turn


the second turn does not look like a proper exit no road markings

The exit the Op wants to take may be exit 2 it also might be beyond 12 o'clock.
If it is both above then you would take it as a 3rd exit and signal and position as previously explained

If the exit is before or at 12 o clock, you approach in the left hand lane only using your indicator on approach(left indicator) if it is the first exit you are leaving by. If the exit is after the first exit and at or before 12 o clock,then you approach in the left hand lane without any indicator and put on your indicator when passing the exit before the one you are taking.
