The rules of Five Photos; Five Stories are to post a photo a day for five consecutive days and attach a story to the photo. It can be fiction or non-fiction, a poem or a short paragraph. Oh yes, and each day nominate another blogger for the challenge. Thanks to Dianna of These Days of Mine for tagging me to do this challenge. A great one for this time when I am feeling super busy and need a simple blog challenge.
It was a fun day of exploring the countryside in Australia. Aussies are a funny breed. You never really know what is going to come out of their mouths and I found out early that my “share everything” way of life was something that should probably not be my norm while I lived there and had a husband who valued his job.
I loved our time in Australia and when we were able we took trips around to all of the sights and sounds of the country. We were not there long enough to explore everywhere we did get a good glimpse into life in Queensland and loved being able to experience that.
One day when we were driving through the countryside we happened up on this mailbox. Honest to goodness—–I made Chris back the car up so I could take a picture. I am not sure how the postie knew there was mail to go out as I did not see a flag of any sort but it obviously worked well for a re-purposed use. Don’t you love how ingenious this is to use an old non-working microwave for a mailbox? I know I do and hope it made you chuckle today.
Today I would love to tag Joy of Living Life Joyfully to participate in this challenge if she wants to join in.

It is pretty perfect isn’t it??? i loved it!
That did make me chuckle. So funny! In Germany you have to physically go to a post office to mail anything, even a letter. If you happen to have stamps, there are letter drop boxes but you won’t have any luck with mailing anything by leaving it in your mailbox. It still gives me a little thrill when I leave a letter in our mailbox to be mailed out. 🙂
Oh that would be difficult to not be able to just go stick a letter in the mailbox. Even though writing letters is not as popular as it once was I still love to check the mailbox for that personal letter or card!
That is the most unique mailbox I have ever seen. A good choice for the challenge.
Thanks, Darlene! I thought it was pretty funny.
Hilarious! This beats the mailbox I saw the other day that looked like a rifle!
A rifle? Oh my! That would be hard to put mail into!
My mailbox needs a repair-maybe I should just replace it with a microwave. I wonder if the “Fix your mailbox” card the post person left has a checkbox for microwave.
I think you should just find a worn out appliance and use it. It seems to work in Australia so why not Mason City? Your neighbor did not back into your mailbox, did they?
Now I know what to do with the broken microwave currently sitting in our garage.
There you go! Perfect use!
Now that’s funny!

That’s the most unique mailbox I’ve ever seen.
It is, isn’t it?
I think it looks very nice.
