I seem to have successfully sent a few dozen.
(Only thing that didn't go was a picture of our outdoor dunny - can't think why, there was no-one in it, and the door was closed.)

It is the focal point of our backyard.
I'll be sending more tomorrow.

Sprung! We have a similar one in our backyard, but I don't have a camera, so I found one on the internet to illustrate the word "dunny".
Inner Western Sydney does have a lot of surprises. From my front doorstep I have a view of the centrepont tower, yet I live on a (rented) half-acre block, with a tumbledown victorian house and an outdoor dunny on it. The disused Alexandra Canal and the "greenway" - the long-redundant Lilyfield-Dulwich Hill railway - bring wildlife right into the neighbourhood. Bandicoots and bushrats, and the occasional snake.

Crikey! You're almost as old as I am. In my youth, the milkman, baker, dustman, ashman, iceman and the dunnycartman all had horses and carts. The horses were huge clydedales, percherons and shires, and all of them had huge, hairy feet. As recently as 1998 I lived on a farm without even a septic tank. We had an old-fashioned long-drop dunny, complete with a family of scorpions living beneath the wooden seat.![]()

Well not that old, you could still be my father, age wise if my maths are correct.....LOL....But i do remember the milk man and the glass bottles with silver lids that would be delivered at the front door in the early morning in a 6 pack white plastic coated rack. Those long drop dunnies use to scare the crap out of me, literally..... always thought i would fall in and the spiders or snakes would come out to bite me on the butt!

My pp received my postcards this week! I sent funny pictures and some memes that were relevant to conversations we were in the middle of. It worked out perfectly because they arrived in the week he was waiting for one of my letters. This was a great idea! Again, thank you JoshA!![]()
I spent every spare moment for a week or so sending postcards to everyone I could think of. Then I got blocked: 2) abusing our free offer promotion. .
It was fun while it lasted.![]()
