![]() Currently, Australia Post replaces its motorbikes every three years or 25,000 kilometres. The new models will be phased in over the coming years. It features electronic fuel injection, and also has electric start - no doubt a relief for posties who’ve developed an unusually large right leg from kick-starting their current two-wheeler. Not only are the new bikes safer, they’re also more efficient. The new grey and lime green step-through bikes will be fitted with highly visible fluorescent yellow pannier bags - a much more eye-catching appearance than the current red and orange combo, which will make the posties easier to spot on the road - and the plastic shield at the front of the bike keeps the rider’s knees protected, too. The new Honda Super Cub model will take the place of the CT110, with a new-look paint job that will make the bike more visible. Management put a lot of emphasis on the safety of its people, but we also need the community’s help to keep their dogs behind fences.A suburban icon will soon disappear as Australia Post is set to replace the red Honda CT110 ‘postie’ bike. WHERE TO BUY POSTIE BIKES HOW TOAustralia Post regularly discusses how to deal with dogs in their own environment in our team briefings. ![]() Mark: I will always try and talk to an approaching dog and let them smell me, obviously having a fence between us is highly regarded by oneself. Who’s the Boss? W hat do you do when you come across an overexcited doggie when delivering the mail? I have been lucky not to have been bitten as yet. I much prefer a good licking than a bite. Mark: I have had some funny encounters with dogs and one lovely cat named ‘Lek’ in Penshurst St, who comes out most days for a stroke and a chat. Who’s the Boss? Have you had any memorable encounters with the dogs and cats in the suburbs where you deliver mail? Sometimes I feel like a bad smell, they often follow me around. They both go ballistic if you mention the word ‘walkies’, which of course sets off all the dogs in our street. Both dogs cope with instruction well, eg ‘bed’, ‘toilet’. ![]() When I’m working in the study they will come and lay on the carpet while I tap away on the computer.Ĭhester only cares for one thing…FOOD. They cower if in trouble and always look for attention either with belly rubs, walks or dog treats. But when it comes to the big boss it’s me. Mark: Cooper is the ‘Boss of the Animals’. Who’s the Boss? In your busy household, how do your pets get your attention? Who really is the boss? She occasionally will take a swipe at Chester for getting too close, but with Cooper, there is no love lost at all, it is mutual hate… avoidance. ![]() Milo prefers to avoid the dogs and finds refuge on the beds and couches in the house. We inherited Milo from some friends from Gulargambone (country NSW) in 2006. Chester is relaxed, happy to leave the protecting to Cooper. Cooper is the more aggressive and neurotic one. We did a little research and this breed seemed the best fit for our family. We chose mini Foxys because of their placid nature. My wife and I were going through some difficulties at the time and needed some joy, fun and a distraction. We decided to buy these two to lift our lives. We got them from a responsible breeder on the way to Windsor. Both dogs are mini Foxy with a quarter Jack Russell. Mark: I have two dogs, Cooper and Chester and our cat Milo. ![]()
