Australia Post

I have managed to find more of the painted electricity junction boxes in Newcastle. I first posted some a while ago, and then posted the pillar people recently too, all painted by local artist Rebecca Murray.

I believe there are ten mouse boxes and so far this is the fifth one I have found and posted on 365 this year.

Here is one of the first ones I posted earlier this year.

Cute little mouse - but confusing to blighty - I would be looking for the slot to use the "Postbox " ha !!

So sweet. Great idea.

Your information about the mouse clears up my initial confusion about this shot. I thought you had created a composite image. How clever though to create street art out of everyday mundane street furniture.

Such a wonderful find, looking forward to the rest.

I would have missed the mouse if I didn't read your story. Lovely capture and looking for more.
September 3rd, 2019  
I nearly missed the mouse.
September 3rd, 2019  
Lovely capture
September 3rd, 2019  
so low that the mouse can reach!

Cool shot

Nice find and capture

Awwww, little cutie!
September 3rd, 2019  
Love the whole idea. Is there a map of their locations? Could go on a hunt and make a collage.
September 3rd, 2019  
Loved your others and this one is so cute. Fav

That’s cute and funny, I like the one with the phone box.

Such great fun. I like the wire shadows in your shot too.
September 3rd, 2019

@julzmaioro @kjarn @annied @30pics4jackiesdiamond @pattyblue @photographycrazy @peadar @haskar @ludwigsdiana @sangwann @mave @cmp @ladoga365 @leestevo @seattlite @seattlite @casablanca @craftymeg @jacqbb @rontu @cocobella @flowerfairyann @sugarmuser @pyrrhula @samae @lesip @kwind Thanks, sorry for the group reply again, but it is another busy week here and I am a bit limited with 365 time.
This is the fifth mouse junction box I have found and I believe there are ten of them scattered around Newcastle, so next time I am there I will look out for more.

@beryl ha ha, you would have to duck down quite low to post a letter here, the junction boxes are only about 2 ft (60 cm) off the ground.

@gamelee Thanks Lee. Newcastle is quite well known for its street art and the electricity boxes of all descriptions are painted, including telecommunication pillars and traffic light junction boxes too. I have posted a few of the pillar people previously this year in my project and also this is the fifth mouse box I have found. They are great fun.

@shutterbug49 There is a sort of a map I believe, but it is not very exact. I think it is designed for kids to look for the pillars etc during the school holidays. I believe that there is now a website though where people can post when they have found the various pillars. I know the area where they are situated, so it is just a question of spotting them and then taking a photo.

Love the mouse. There used to be a furniture maker in England that always had a carved mouse on his furniture.

@angelar Yes I remember him, Robert Thompson I think, known as Mouseman. My Mum used to have a Mouseman milking stool. God knows where it is now.
