Something Different

Street Box, Railroad Terrace

Here's a more common street box from nearby my work. This is actually a box used for telephone connections.

Australia is fun and perhaps more modern than the US, in that everyone has a mobile/cel phone. Generally, businesses have land lines, but every businessperson I've met will give you their mobile number, if it isn't already on their card. I saw a phone tech open up this particular one once, so I know it was phone lines. Quite different from your usual US phone box, and very different from the rest of the painted street boxes in Brisbane city.
