Australia Post not troubled by rising fuel costs it seems

I'm expecting a delivery and just got this update from Australia Post. Melbourites will get it but for everyone else:


In reverse order from the bottom: It came in from Sydney to Sunshine West yesterday morning, a distribution Ctr located well west of central Melbourne, then began it's fantastic journey around our fair city.


Sunshine West to Melbourne North - good start Eastwards- now just 25km to go

Melbourne North to Ferntree Gully - well not so good, overshot by 20km or so and aimed rather to the SE of us!

Ferntree Gully to Somerton - gaining momentum now, another overshoot this time to 35km NW of us, probably going right past us during the night

Somerton to Croydon South - pretty much reversing the last leg but not quite as far East this time, still left with a good 20km or so to go


Ahhhh! It's on board now, might actually get here today  :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

I wouldn't hold your breath  Colin !!!

Did they put it on Puffing Billy?

It arrived in full and safely at 4pm  

PS it's not railway related, more grape! And I see a photo of Matilda's travels has by pure "coincidence" popped up as a feature in the Site surround area! I suspect I know who's been up to that  :twisted:

Everything but, it seems  :roll:


Then I was reminded of this Maths concept, certainly makes sense for the routing my package

In mathematics, "a random walk" is a random process that describes a  path that consists of a succession of random steps on some mathematical  space. An elementary example of a random walk is the random walk on the integer  number line which starts at 0, and at each step moves +1 or  âˆ’1 with equal probability. source: Wikipedia

Most usually my parcels get to me once they get to the Wantirna South centre, but on one occasion they sent one from Wantirna South to Sunshine West; from there it went to Sydney, before returning to Sunshine West, thence to Wantirna South again.

Some folks are never happy - you should be grateful they didn't charge you excess postage for all that extra travelling.
