Here in Sunbury there is a chap named Joe, he makes all sorts of 'armoured' 
items. 
From his most sought after letterboxes to toothpick holders, Joe does it all.

I was so impressed with his work I bought one of the letterboxes myself!

To find out more have a look on E-bay where he sells them with his wife 
Melinda under the username MELINDAX44. (www.ebay.com.au)

Information about the letterbox (by Joe & Melinda)::

"It's unanimous!  This is the greatest letterbox!  It's such a fantastic looking item that it's almost too good to use out front!  Just imagine those long summer days and nights and the barbie in the yard working overtime with lots of entertaining going on.  How good would your "Ned" look out in your yard?  This high quality item would definitely be able to fit your existing landscaping or perhaps you could landscape around it.  Either way, "Ned" would definitely be a talking point and definitely not something that is going to pop up everywhere else you look!  So,  you have a choice on how you can use this wonderful piece.  You don't need to disregard it because you don't need a letterbox; there is another option!  You can have it!  Now for the recommendations!  Just read what other purchasers think of this wonderfully crafted piece ..."

The letterbox is made of 1.6mm steel plate.  It is 450mm high from top to bottom with a 200mm diameter.  The vision slot is the opening for your mail to be delivered through and there is door at the rear for easy removal.  The door at the rear is secured by a hasp and clasp style latch to which you can add your padlock for added security.  The letterbox is treated with a rust proofing product prior to painting.  There are four 8mm holes drilled in the base of the letterbox for you to use to secure to your choice of support. 

So take a look and grab yourself a great piece of work by Joe.
