Wellington Post Office

Wellington Post Office is a two-story building on Maughan Street with Federation Arts and Crafts architecture combining sandstone and brick. The structure sits on substantial grounds with clear functional divisions between public service areas and administrative spaces.

Construction happened between 1869 and 1904 and replaced an earlier postal service that began in Wellington in 1838. James Barnet oversaw the building work as a major government architect of the time.

This place sits on lands where the Wiradjuri people lived, and shows how communication services grew in rural areas. Visitors can see how such buildings became centers of local life.

The building sits in central Wellington and is easy to reach on foot, with clear entrances for visitors. Inside, the postal service flows logically and all areas are well marked for easy navigation.

Beneath the building lie buried archaeological remains from the original 1868 post office. These layers hold clues about early colonial-era structures that once stood on this spot.
