Messages from the Edge: The Story of Port Albert’s 1864 Post Office

Built in 1864, the former Port Albert Post and Telegraph Office connected a remote maritime town to the wider world. Today it stands as Gippsland’s oldest surviving post office and a symbol of how local heritage endures through care, use, and continuity.
