Madoqua of “Have you ever” blog started a challenge to find unusual mailboxes from around the world, as the need for mailboxes seems to be fading fast. A number of people have found some quite amazing samples and posted them on Madoqua’s blog.
Scrapydo posted some on her blog and led me to discover this challenge, so I thought I would find contribute too. Click here to see the original post that started it all.
In my neighbourhood, there is one that is like a Norwegian ‘hytte’ (or cabin in the mountains) It even has a turf roof. The fence, however, jolts you back into suburban Australia…..

The following photo was posted by a friend on facebook:
A unique kind of decoration. Something to ponder about.
Amazing mailbox contributions:
- Redback spider mailbox
- A penguin got my mail
- A man from Mars
- A spinning wheel
- Piranha guards the mail
- Petrol bowser mailbox
- A horse mailbox
- A pelican can
Love them, glad you got inspired! 🙂
