According to Wikipedia, "In 1845, the Railways Clauses Consolidation Act was passed, compelling UK railway companies to provide their passengers with a means of determining the distance traveled (fares were set by distance at this time). Section 94 states: "The company shall cause the length of the railway to be measured, and milestones, posts, or other conspicuous objects to be set up and maintained along the whole line thereof, at the distance of one quarter of a mile from each other, with numbers or marks inscribed thereon denoting such distances." Apparently, this idea of mile posts was imported from UK through the British advisers during the Meiji era. Then, as the metric system was later introduced, mile posts came to be known as kilo(metre) posts. Zero kilometre post is a mile post.

Resting up and trying to get better. Have to visit Dr to get some blood tests done. Will try and find an Australian Conbini and do some comparison shopping. Not as much fun as the Japanese ones though ;) Ive seen it mentioned in a brochure as being Godzilla, but it does look more like a T-Rex out of Jurasic Park. ^_^

I'm curious too. Also, Godzilla forever!! ^__^ Another thing absolutely off topic, but there's a new anime [it started last sunday] called Miracle Train, I've watched it today, and it's kinda weird. As I said, totally OT, but in my head I linked your post and that anime :-) Yup, what Zero Post means? I’m curious too.

I have never heard of that phrase before. When I first looked at that picture I was going to call that T-Rex At least that's what it looks like to me, till you said Godzilla. I'm suprised the train guys didn't know where it was, sorta like you see it everyday but don't pay any attention to it, then someone has to ask about it. I wonder if anyone has tried to put letters in that box to send? I saw your flicker photos, sure looks like a nice and peaceful area. Have you shot a round of golf yet? will you be doing an Austrailian Conbini Monday Article? Have fun. What is meant by “Zero Line Post”? I have never heard of that phrase before.
