M is for … Mailboxes

Mailboxes here in Australia are a constant delight.

I’m used to post being delivered through a letter box in my front door. In the UK, letters, cards, bills and other post arrive inside the home … unless you have a dog that will eat post, in which case you put a mailbox on the outside of your house, within reach from your front door.

Here in Australia, we have to go the the front gate to collect our mail.

In rural areas, a row of mailboxes are a regular sight at the end of a side road.
