![]() Some wise posties carry around ‘schmackos’ to chuck over the fence! Usually the dogs are always enclosed in yards and tied up so they are not much of threat. ![]() ![]() And what about the dogs? Yes they do bark at you from behind fences and scare the hell of you but they are only protecting their homes and owners, says Pete. The hardest run would have to be in the hot, sandy desert regions and the cold, alpine areas of Victoria. The sought after positions are along the beautiful coastal towns like Byron Bay but those jobs usually go to the loyal posties who have served for ten years or more. Posties can work anywhere in Australia through a transfer system of advertised jobs in the Australia Post magazine. Being a postman is therefore a fun and adventurous career prospect for young people who like their motorbikes and the outdoors. Each motor postie has to attend a 2-day training course and ‘wannabe’ riders can gain their licence through an Australia Post training program. Posties can only ride a 110CC powered bike at a speed of 10km an hour on the footpaths. Peter has lots of time to himself, to think and sometime sing along as he travels the footpaths on board his Honda CP110. Getting to work casually outdoors is one of the appealing aspects of the job. (Pete obviously likes a mobile lifestyle because he has also made and starred in a documentary about backpacking around Australia!) For now Peter loves riding his motorbike around the suburbs talking to all the friendly people who meet him at the gate and saying "Hi" to the kids on school holidays. Peter loves his job and says there are many career moves he can make - such as Team Leader of a whole suburb, or perhaps into admin at Australia Post. In the CBD and dense metro areas, for instance, posties often walk or ride a pushbike, whereas outer suburban areas often have greater distances to cover and need to use a motorbike. Posties deliver mail on motorbikes, pushbikes or on foot, depending on the geography of the area to which they deliver. It takes him about 3 ½ hours to complete a run. On each run he makes approximately 500 delivery points, carrying no more than 25 kg on a motorbike. This time away lead him to realise that Australia Post was such a good job, so he returned to be a postie and settle down in Sydney.Įach morning Peter sorts out his ‘beat’ with about 200 other people at the mail delivery centre. It's like having a face on your back, but a lot less weird and gross.Peter Blair (32) initially worked for Australia Post for a bit before taking off overseas for 2 ½ years to travel.
