Australia Philately: 3550 – Bendigo

The Bendigo Post Office, Victoria, was built between 1883 and 1887 by the contractors McCulloch and McAlpine and designed by Public Works architect George W. Watson in the Second Empire architectural style. The building shares a great deal with its neighbouring building, the Bendigo Law Courts, and had the same builder and designer and was built at around the same time.

The building was extensively restored between 1978-1987 and was used as a post office until 1997.

1975
