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.

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.

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.

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.

Another set of Australian rural roadside letterboxes.

It's a while since I posted an image of roadside rural letterboxes. Explored.

Continuing with another of my series on Australian rural letterboxes. And, as it's now Friday, HFF to all. :-) Explored.

In case my previous shot of our old letterbox seemed unusual, it's worth mentioning that rural letterboxes in Australia come in a huge diversity of styles - here are some more. I'd suggest best on black. Explored.
