Various

Hadn't realised that Francis J. Field was in such (geographical) proximity to the site.

Rather than being a gap between all these interesting goings on, the site was at the heart of all these things and binds together places such as America and Richmond Road.

The sifting is bringing larger things to the fore. When you read through the list of the postal depot sections, it's all standard stuff until you get to deceased and casualties.

The site boundary is really interesting and puts the site at an edge position, but when taking the bigger picture, it becomes central.

From the Francis J. Field material, in addition to words, actions, and mail art, there is an aesthetic coming through in the design and colouring of labels and stamps that can filter through into the whole project.

And the purple lines too that signify a switch from air to surface mail. The site is also about a switch from rail to road.
