The Braeside mailbox is about 500m from the house, and I never knew why. Turns out it's thanks to Murphy. The dog. Murphy doesn't love the mailman.

Debbie Malone tells me that the Braeside mail used to be dropped in Kynuna, and someone had to do the 60k round trip to pick it up. We also chat about her years teaching her boys on school of the air, retiring (or not) from the mustering team and craft. Debbie is a talented craftsperson and makes AMAZING mailman teddy bears, among other things.

Debbie had all seven of her grandchildren visiting when we caught up, and yet it was still somehow less chaotic then recording on the mail run!
