Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Probably one of the biggest mailboxes I have ever seen - at Red Hill, Mornington Peninsula.
No surprise that this eyecatching piece graces the front of a huge property engaged in the storage and transport of wine!
It is called Wizard Wells!

P.S. I am aware that U.S. has official mailboxes.
But anything related to mail is great for this meme!
It's OK to think outside "the mailbox"!!!
N.B. As I think of extra possibilities, I will add them to the list!
You may even like to suggest some!

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)

That'd hold a lot of snail-mail! Even back before most business was done online. Still it is the perfect one for a wine-related business.
Certainly a wizard mailbox. I'd love a mail barrel like that, I'd never have to journey to the central post office to pick up large parcels ever again.
I love that country-feeling of a mailbox.
