Letterboxes

It's a while since I posted any letterboxes. We found these in Araluen, once a goldfield and now a quiet farming area. I coundn't see any name on the old church. Behind are some of the ranges which surround the valley. Explored.

More roadside letterboxes. These are down the valley south of Braidwood. The postman travels only on the major road and properties off on side roads have rather personalised letterboxes grouped where the sideroads enter. I think Pam might enjoy this. In the late 1860s, this was the area where the Clarke bushranging gang mainly operated, with the tacit support of their friends and relatives. In late 1866, frustrated at their lack of progress, the Special Constables (see previous images) began to arrest many of those people on charges such as receiving stolen property, harbouring criminals, etc.

A rural letterbox and fence. It seems you can buy cow poo for $5 here (for your garden), provided you're prepared to take whatever risks may be involved while the property is a construction site. :-) HFF and have a safe and enjoyable weekend, everyone.

I recently had the curious experience of revisiting our former rural property, for the first time after many years. Not surprisingly, while some things remained the same, many others had changed. Rural letterboxes at the main road turnoff and fence in background. HFF and best wishes for the weekend, everyone.
