Amazing Australian Letterboxes

Due to more and more Aussies living life as a single the number of Australian
letter boxes continues to grow.
According to Australia Post the number of Aussie letter boxes grows by 2.5% per year, and by June 2005 they reckon Australia had 9.87 million "mail delivery points", also known as letter boxes.
Most letter boxes are pretty boring, but below are some beauties that caught our attention;

Shove the mail up the cassowary's ass. (Junk mail up your own!)

In the Australian outback it is not unusual to see fridges and washing machines as letterboxes but this piano at Rainforest Hideaway B&B in Cape Tribulation had a bit more style. Unfortunately it is now no longer there as the rain of two wet seasons took their toll on this unique piece.
