AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Weekend Mailbox #3 ~ A Mailbox Door to Open Spaces


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ This mailbox in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula looks fairly plain and ordinary.
But look where it is!
It's inserted in a wooden door opening to a ramp over a small gully and leading to a front door.
The arches above used to be covered with vines, but now the owners have trimmed it all back!

It's OK to think outside "the mailbox"!!!

What a really quirky and unusual postbox! Hope the path to the front door is safe. It must have looked really pretty covered in vines.
