Sir Kev & Darkie
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.

Post pics of your best letter box that you have seen.

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,

This one was on
Kangaroo Island somewhere....near
Parndana I think from memory.
This one was on the Lock to
Elliston Road.
