Chris Chalmers from Australia sends pictures of two VERY BIG mailboxes.
"When we lived in the rural New England Tablelands area of New South Wales a couple of years ago Ray, my husband, took on a rural mailrun - and I went with him one day to see what he saw..........and this mailbox was outstanding.
To understand it you have to know the story of "The dog on the Tuckerbox" - a tuckerbox is a box that holds tucker - food! So this mailbox has been painted to cover up the rust - and has a metal dog sitting on the top. It belongs to the parents of Casey Stoner, the Aussie International Motorbike Racer."
The second photo shows Ray posting some mail into a rusty oil drum that used to sit in a fork in a tree, but has been there so long the tree has grown around it.

Thanks, Chris!
