As we spent 3 months driving around Australia one thing we noticed is that Aussies like to get creative with their post boxes. Obviously you see loads that are the same purposeful basic style, but other people really go to town. Here are some of our favourites…

We thought this amazing fella was the winner. He was called Ned Kelly and was outside the first Aussie Airbnb we stayed at in Hervey Bay owned by an English couple.

One that I couldn’t photograph because I was driving alone and had lots of cars behind me was of a minion from the Despicable Me movies. That would’ve given ol’ Ned a run for his money I think!
