Koala Lumber

Worst Letterbox

Is it my imagination, or does this koala have a jemmy in its claw? It appears to be about to break into this appalling letterbox in xxxxxxxxx Street Embleton. You also may think it is a little insensitive to have a felled tree motif as a letterbox with the problem of shrinking koala habitats, but hey, Western Australia does not have koalas.koala lumber

    That is one angry looking koala! Is it a silverback or does it have a mould problem?

    I can only see classic christian iconography. The Virgin standing on a snake carrying the baby christ – a madonna and child in the wild so to speak. The dead tree then becomes obvious.

    golden1, the conception was miraculous not the birth. It might just be the pouch.

    I thought the difficulty they were facing on a daily basis was called chlamidya

    Hey just came upon your blog via Yahoo after I typed in,
    “Koala Lumber | The Worst of Perth” or something similar (can’t quite remember exactly). Anyhow, I’m relieved I found it simply because your subject material
    is exactly what I’m looking for (writing a university paper) and I hope you don’t mind if I collect some information from here and I will of course
    credit you as the reference. Thanks.
