Geocache Description:


Braidwood Post Office


The current post office building in Braidwood was built as the Telegraph Office, and became the Post Office in the 1890s (the old post office building in McKellar Street became a general store). Beside the main building is the Postmaster’s residence. It is now privately owned.
