Old Gympie Post Office, former post office in Gympie, Queensland, Australia

The Old Gympie Post Office at 22 Channon Street is a two-storeyed masonry building designed by Francis Drummond Greville Stanley and built from 1878 to 1880 by Andrew Collins. It originally housed the post and telegraph offices with separate entrances from the verandah, the land commissioner's office at the Channon Street end, and the postmaster's residence on most of the first floor plus a ground-level sitting room at the rear. A separate rear wing held an additional kitchen and bedroom.

The structure was built between 1878 and 1880 when the region experienced rapid growth from gold discoveries and needed expanding infrastructure. The post office marked the town's importance as a rising commercial center during that period.

The building displays the classical style of government structures from the late Victorian period in Queensland. It remains part of Gympie's streetscape and reflects the important role postal services played in the town's development.

The building sits on Channon Street and can be viewed from the outside. Visitors can see and photograph the architecture and facade details from the street.

The building is also known as My Country. Tenders in 1878 came in over budget, so the length was cut from 96 to 76 feet (29 to 23 m) before Andrew Collins signed the contract on 23 August 1878. Bad weather and a shortage of skilled labour delayed completion until 1880.
