Post box

Ok, this is definitely not Auckland, and its not a public mailbox either, but I just couldn’t help myself…
This postbox made as a model of the house was captured along the Whanganui river, a dramatic setting even for a humble postbox…

The New Zealand movie, “River Queen” was shot along the Whanganui river, and if it is available in your local video store. I’d recommend it
