Main

Record number63711Datec1940DescriptionThe postal address for the early pioneers of Terrey Hills was Narrabeen via Windsor. In 1936 Ruby Duncan allotted one of the old buses she had acquired for use as a post office. The unofficial post mistress was Miss Trennary and the mail was brought out from St Ives by Jimmy Maunder in the school bus.
A few years later this little weatherboard building was constructed - it had the reputation of being one of the smallest post offices in the Commonwealth. Mrs Kershaw was postmistress. There were no mail deliveries until 1955 so residents walked to the little hut and back.
The first official post office in Terrey Hills did not open until 1978SourceunknownKeywordspost office
