Things I love about NZ #1


                              Post boxes at the end of the drive instead of a letter box in the door.
            Conducive to neighbourly interaction; brief, enforced communions with nature; and to creativity.







All spotted last week between Dunedin and Geraldine whilst having a few days away.

Cool aye!

  2. I was going to ask which one was yours...I love them Max, thanks for sharing. I always thought a collection of mail boxes would make an interesting coffee table book...

  9. Cat-I'll definatly let you know if we do, we have vague plans to go to waiheke for a week or so in Feb...:0)
    Em-sadly there appear to be no cool ones in my town either. I think it would be a great draw card for our town so I might suggest a competition to our local mayor/mens shed group!
    Kylie and Luce-I have seen an NZ book on the topic. It had a picture of a post box on Banks peninsular with a normal post box at normal hight, then an 'airmail box' about 6 feet up!
    Hi Mimi...or Tilly *waves*
    I have the most boring mail box ever, its very 10 downing street-ie black. considering a make-over...hmmm x
