Nindigully has a population of 6, yet the Pub does a roaring trade thanks to its popularity as an outback destination and events like the 4,000 strong new years eve party.
Letter Boxes
The great Australian letterbox. It's an art form. A sense of humour. A statement. A way of making sure the Postie recognises your digs if he is not having a great day.
"The mailman, if he's extra tired, would pass them in his sleep,
It's safest to address the note to 'Care of Conroy's sheep',
For five and twenty thousand head can scarcely go astray,
You write to 'Care of Conroy's sheep along the Castlereagh'."
A.B. 'Banjo' Paterson,
"The Travelling Post Office"
The Bulletin, 10 March 1894

Apparently the sign says, "Shove the mail up the cassowary's ass. (Junk mail up your own!)"
