This is a letterbox! It’s spacious enough to hold a few parcels and the wind will not sweep
letters away nor will the rain wash them. It saves the postie the xtra 5km dirt track to
the farm. Quite good, eh?
• Bullet holes are quite common in
these areas. Every self-respecting
man owns a gun, or two, or three
– for fun, shooting rabbits,
foxes,and roos, of course.
• Waddaye think, we are not
America!
• Enjoy the freedom we
got here in OZ.
Nobody is nicking the
postal goodies
anyway, to hell with
regulations!

• We get creative with
our letterbox magic.

range of approved
designs which will have
to be lockable of course.
In the meantime, I’ll keep
enjoying and collecting
the weird and wonderful
designs of this Great
Southern Civilization.
