'RETURN TO SENDER'

This new exhibition is now open in the Museum.

Our new exhibition opened on Friday 12 July 2024.  It explores the history of the post offices across the Shire of Mundaring.  Post Offices have played an important role in the social and economic development of our localities and continue to do so today. Methods of communication such as the handwritten letter, telegrams and later telephone, were vital in the early development of communities. Hence, the establishment of a post office was a priority. â€‹â€‹
