Letter box expediency.
As you drive through rural countryside, you often find properties where the owner has never thrown a thing out. They are littered with all sorts of stuff. In the city, it would be called hoarding and the neighbours would be up in arms but in the country it's all about expediency, making do, saving money, making your hard earned "buck" stretch as far as possible.
Well we found this thing, yes a letterbox as we headed south towards Tamworth. Notice the opening or slot if you could call it that is an old oil drum tacked into a hole and plate made in the refrigerator door. I love this, it's so Aussie really. And not in itself unique. We also saw microwaves and even the odd stove repurposed along our journey plus of course all the really novel artistic ones. Which reminds me, we found so many a few days later (20+) that I am just going upload this artistic overload in one hit with comments disabled (so it doesn't drive everyone nuts) .....but I do like supporting the Letterbox groups.
