AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

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)

Mailbox with a Message


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Mailbox at Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula
NOTE: This is quite an important sign in Australia.
We have water restrictions now almost all year round.
This sign on a mailbox indicates that the owner does not draw on a metropolitan water supply (town water) but uses their own rainwater usually collected from the house roof.
The rainwater is usually stored in a water tank at the side or back of the house.
It is important to say this if gardens are being watered regularly.
People who water gardens for long periods of time using town water are liable for heavy fines.
This sign indicates the owner is a responsible water user!

Messages for Eden


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Tucked away just behind a huge rock by the driveway is this mailbox in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula
I have such a "thing" for weird mailboxes that I love spending time at the weekend wandering around looking for the weird and intriguing ones.
NOTE: Even though Mailbox Monday has faded away, I still post for it because I thought (and still think) it is a good meme.
