As an instance of the difficulties sometimes experienced by post officials,
the " Age " cites the following:
The address of the letter commenced with the word " Mr " and than a sketch
of a chest of tea, followed by a piece of brick or stone fencing. Below this
are a hammer and an anvil, and then a pyramid with some palm trees and a
view of hilly country. Under this is an obliterated Victorian stamp and the
word " Australia ". One of the mail clerks has worked this out to mean, "
Mr. T. WALL, blacksmith, Pyramid Hill, Victoria, " and the letter has been
forwarded accordingly.
