Roadside Mail Box
# Roadside Mail Box

A Roadside Mail Box or RMB is an artificial address that is created by Australia Post to deliver mail to a rural or remote location. The RMB address allows a sender or recipient of mail to succinctly specify the mail's destination.

Without the RMB system, many intended destinations would otherwise be specifiable only by a series of directions or some other unwieldy, abstract description.

The RMB address functions similarly to a post office box in that it describes an intended addressee with a unique number, but it is different in that it aliases a real physical address rather than a container at a post office.

## Location

RMBs are usually located on the main road, and not on the farm. Several RMBs might be grouped together. The boxes themselves are often decorated as animals or birds.
