Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Clearly, this Dromana mailbox is only expecting small letters!
No chunky bills allowed!
This would have to be one of the smallest mailboxes set in the biggest structure that I have ever seen!
I even checked that it was a mailbox!

Weekend Mailbox #13 ~ Tall Mask
~
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF WEEKEND MAILBOX!
(This pairs with Beth's Postcard Friendship Friday HERE!)
LINKS OPEN Saturday at 2:05am Eastern Australia time - Melbourne
~
A few introductory comments:
1. Post a photograph of ANYTHING that relates to mailboxes.
Here are a few ideas/subjects!
mailboxes
cards
notepaper
stamps
vintage cards/postcards
old letters
even VIRTUAL letters
postal vans
postmen
2. Your link must be a "permalink" and go directly to your Weekend Mailbox post.
3. Link back to Weekend Mailbox in your post tags.
4. You may like to use the Weekend Mailbox badge located in this post or on the sidebar! Right click and save it on your computer. When you add it to your post, ensure you click on the image and link it to Gemma's Greyscale Territory. Then others may follow the link here.
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!
***PLEASE - Add your NAME + COUNTRY (initials)
e.g. Gemma, AUS
and link to Linky Tools below.

I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
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)

How odd the size of that mailbox is! I wonder what that's all about? I love what you find for this fun meme Gemma! Have an awesome weekend :)
No bending down for the Postie and room for lots and lots of letters. Strange and funny.
