The red phone

Found on the street while taking my early morning walk!
May find more ....... no-one uses them now that we all have mobiles.
I hear that Telstras business is reduced, and even hi-speed internet may be a
thing of the past!

Canon PowerShot G9
1/20s f/8.0 at 18.9mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Love it! We have one very similar that we bought off the internet. It is all functioning and in use, but run into problems is we have to press 1, or 2 etc, so have a digital also! Gotta love retro :)

a true antique! my niece asked why I say "dial a number" on the phone, she (8 years old) has never seen a dial on a phone
