Business booms for Melbourne’s last typewriter repairman, Tom Koska

A little over a year ago, Melbourne typewriter repairman Tom Koska carefully peeled open a letter from a grateful customer. He was used to it, of course — as the last Australian tradesman qualified to recondition these writing relics, many a client had tapped out a message of gratitude. But none was quite like this: “Dear Tom,” the letter began. “Word has reached the shores of the USA of your shop, of your servicing of typewriters and the Down Under Type-O-Verse. “Good on you, Mate. “I hope to return to your island nation and, if possible, your neck of the woods.

We tell you why the art of letter writing is still relevant in this digital age and in what ways it benefits your child “How wonderful it is to be able to write someone a letter!
