Not a good effort by me - thus deleted.<br /><br />That Post Office is very elaborate and ornate - the only Post<br />Offices now of note here are in the capital cities, very large towns<br />or towns which were of major importance in previous years. Post<br />offices in little country towns are like pubs - meeting places for the<br />farming fraternity or as these farming people are called here - "COCKIES".<br />I have no idea the origin of this Aussie expression - but my family<br />came from the "COCKY" brigade - ha ha<br />I see you are not a lover of rain from an answer in the last blog.<br />Hmmmmmmmmm! You wouldn't make a country girl here in Australia.<br />Rain is the lifeline for the "COCKY" brigade and rural towns also.<br />Actually much more rain is needed in the "outback" and the "not so outback"<br />for good summer grass growth for stock and to alleviate against the summer season bush fire threats.<br /><br />Thanks for the weather report reply for your Christmas - minus 2 Celsius and snow - thank you, Gosia, a most definite - "NO THANK YOU'. <br />That is Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!!!! weather - I'll take our heat.<br />Cheers<br />ColinHuggybearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517411617275367396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897600511871114781.post-45276717274300613792015-11-22T12:41:05.029-08:002015-11-22T12:41:05.029-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Huggybearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517411617275367396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897600511871114781.post-56309337902519911362015-11-22T11:39:49.327-08:002015-11-22T11:39:49.327-08:00Bill I agree with you.Bill I agree with you.Gosiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14604712540141917583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897600511871114781.post-54833475655599466582015-11-22T11:35:46.412-08:002015-11-22T11:35:46.412-08:00Posh looking Post OfficePosh looking Post OfficeBilly Blue Eyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12053172567806569702noreply@blogger.com
