Today marks an end of an era in Mount Helena history as the post office is closing down. Current owners Jeff and Renate Webster are retiring and the PO boxes will return in coming weeks at Vibe IGA Xpress Mount Helena.
History of the Mt Helena Post Office...
The original Mount Helena Post Office was run from a corner in Bucklands Store (IGA) on Keane Street. In the late 1950s the owners decided to move the post office to Evans Street the current location.
Over the years the post office has been home to the local Commonwealth Bank agency, and local telephone exchange.
Owners have included:
Bob and Molly Sparks and Phyllis Buckland (helped sometimes, when busy) Tom and Rosemary Ball Judy and Graeme Cook
Jeff and Renate Webster
Thank you to Jenny Madden who donated photos when her parents owned it and for the information!
