What is the most weird and wonderful Letter Box you have seen on your travels??

Just before Christmas there was a heap of letter boxes between Roma and St George decorated for the silly season.

I have seen kegs, fridges, microwave ovens etc used

This one must make the Postie laugh when he delivers the mail.

Hi there Kev, how you been? I havent got a picture, but a few years ago on our travels we spotted a mail box belonging to a property, it was on a back road. Their mail box was a fully fledged toilet bowl complete with lid but minus the cistern! They had it mounted on a post at a 90 degree angle & it looked pretty good. Just the shot I reckon for all the junk mail!! Cheers.

Good post Sir Kev,

Here's a couple from my travels in SA.


This one was on Kangaroo Island somewhere....near Parndana I think from memory.




This one was on the Lock to Elliston Road.
