Old Bimbi Post & Telephone Office  by leggzy

Old Bimbi Post & Telephone Office

Built in 1883 in the tiny village of Bimbi. A village that once boasted two general stores, a hotel, post office, police station, bakery, butcher shop, fruit shop, tea rooms, stock and station agent, two churches and a blacksmith....nowadays it's like a ghost town.

Apparently the old post office was going to be bulldozed back in the 1980's, but was saved by a couple of young locals who purchased it and gained heritage listing & a grant. I don't think it's used as anything nowadays, but at least it's still standing.
You never seem to run out of fascinating old buildings. I like this one a lot :) fav

What a shame it is being neglected again. It is such a lovely example of architecture of the period.
