Ross Post Office

This post office was built in 1889 and I'm glad to say it is still running. In rural towns that's a reason to celebrate! Built of sandstone quarried in the area, this is a fine example of Victorian architecture. This was also the original telegraph station relaying messages between Launceston and Hobart.

 

Enlarge the photo and take a look around. You'll see clearly the postcode for Ross and the manager taking firewood inside to stoke up the woodfire on this winter's afternoon.
