Yes it is. Have a look at Australia Post's website www.australiapost.com.au.

Probably gets called depending on what gets shoved through the door.
In my house:
Bills = ****head
Junk = bastard
cards = awwwwww
Money/cash/cheques = YOU LITTLE BEAUTIE!!!
Would imagine it was the same over there.

When you say a bike do you mean a push bike or a motor bike? Our postie rides what can only be described as one step up from a moped - hardly a Harley Davidson. OTOH there are some rural mail runs where you can hop in your car at 6am and be back by 6pm having been along dirt tracks all day.

Looking through the requirements it seems you have to be quite a little skinny bloke - like a jockey to ride one of their bikes! My OH is like a rugby player so back to the drawing board
