Fish out of water at Snobs Creek

Rural residents are no stranger to the odd bizarre mailbox.

Whether it’s a custom-built steel artwork or a microwave on a fence post, the creativity never fails to delight.

The Victorian Fisheries Authority has kept up the tradition, mounting a Murray cod on its mailbox outside the Snobs Creek hatchery.

The white shape makes them stand out among the cattle farms — alongside a giant statue of two fishes.
