The Front Door of the Former Wandiligong Post Office - Morses Creek Road, Wandiligong

            Built in 1885, the former Wandiligong Post Office can be found on a rise along Morses Creek Road in the little alpine town of Wandiligong. 

Built of weatherboard the building features a hipped roof and a double gabled frontage either side of a smart front door containing panels of hand painted stained glass.  The house's windows feature original awnings made of red painted corrugated iron that matches the roof.  

Today the former Wandiligong Post Office is a private residence.

Wandiligong is a town in north-eastern Victoria in the alpine region around 330 kilometres from Melbourne.  Established in the 1850s as part of the Victorian Gold Rush, Wandiligong became a hub for many gold miners, including a large Chinese community.  At its peak, the town was home to over two thousand inhabitants and boasted shops, churches, a public library, halls and even an hotel.  Much has changed since those heady days of the gold rush, and the picturesque town nestled in a valley and built around the Morses Creek, is now a sleepy little town full of picturesque houses which are often let to visitors to the area.  The whole town is registered with the National Trust of Australia for its historic landscape and buildings of historic value.
