gettingold, they're called wagons rather than carriages, but they are horse-drawn. The four rural routes at Lynn were, I believe, created in 1900.
According to the "Rural Route Directory Out of Lynn, 1904," James Bascom began his route at 8:20 am and covered 25 5/8 miles. Around 1908, he received permission from the Second Assistant Postmaster General to use his Brush automobile to cover his route "if and when, in his opinion, the weather and the condition of the roads would permit it." |

Cell pic of the Maynard MA post office... note they still have "Park-o-meter" parking meters along the street. The readouts are now digital BUT you still can put coins in! Mine still had time on it, but I hadn't put a coin in a meter in so long, I put a dime in anyway!!  |

Hiya Nells, Briefly, Estimates fluctuate between 50,000 and 70,000 years ago Perth First Nations were the Wadjuk Noongar people of the Perth area. First White man to visit was 1616 Dirk Hartog (Dutch) White settlers began on the Swan River in 1829 Hope that helps. PS: All my mail now will contain the first nations country in the address. eg: Mr. John Citizen Wiilman Country6 Endless Lane Narrogin Western Australia |

Also the last convicts to Australia arrived in WA in 1868. That was the era I was thinking about. I shouldn't have used the word "settled"! For some reason I had it in my head the convict-era was later than that. I don't have many Aussie stamps so I don't get into their dates enough!!! |
