A Look at Bungowannah's Past

One interesting part of Bungowannah's history involves its old Post Office. A post office is a place where people send and receive mail.

  • The Bungowannah Post Office first opened a long time ago, on December 1, 1867.
  • It closed for a while between 1906 and 1918.

This shows how communities change over time. When a post office closes, it often means that fewer people live in the area, or they use other ways to send mail.
