Send letter to Santa at North Pole

Last year, more than 130,000 letters and wishlists were delivered to the North Pole with children following the progress of their special envelope via Australia Post’s interactive Santa Mail tracker online.

THE Christmas countdown is on, which means it’s time for children to start writing their wishlists.

Australia Post’s Michelle Skehan said Australia Post is excited for families to participate in its interactive Santa Mail tracker once again.

“Santa Mail is a treasured tradition in so many households,” Ms Skehan said.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity for children to practise letter-writing skills and address, stamp and post a letter,” she said.

To take part, send your festive letters to Santa, North Pole, 9999 with a 65c Christmas stamp on the front of the envelope.

Santa Mail letters can be placed in any dedicated Santa Mail box or red street post box.

Families are encouraged to lodge their letters before Friday, December 13.
