Old letterboxes

Old letterboxes
Back in 1861, Nerrigundah was a thriving little gold mining town when thousands of miners, seeking fortunes, arrived in the area. The town had five pubs, three shops, a police station and courthouse, etc. The gold is long gone and only about 25 people now live in the area, following various agricultural pursuits. These old letterboxes were in the centre of the town, I doubt they're even in use now.

Explored.

I like the rustic look. I wonder what it would be like to live in such a small town.

Putting a letter or a paper into one of these boxes could be the straw that breaks the camel's back. I expect the 25 inhabitants have smartly painted letterboxes now.

So interesting. Nice additional image of the letterboxes. Growing up in San Francisco and having traveled though plenty of gold rush areas, this is fascinating to me...gold rush country down under!
