integral verandahs; all roof probably clad with crimped iron or possibly corrugated galvanised iron. Exposed rafters with verandah soffits lined with beaded timber lining boards. Front gable features simple fretwork screen to end and timber name board bearing the inscription "POST & TELEGRAPH OFFICE". Single and paired timber-framed casement sashes which are screened by timber-framed sunhoods to the north, west and east elevations. Original drawings do not indicate sunhoods on southern windows, however they are evident in a photograph taken in 1948. Timber framed verandahs are integral with main roof in a bellcast form and are finished with simple timber balustrades, steps and paired verandah posts with carved brackets. Internal doors are four-panelled timber with glazed operable fanlight over. Grounds originally enclosed by timber post and rail fence with Cyclone wire infill. From about 1946 tp 1957, various alterations occurred including construction of additional verandah area along the southern side of building and may have included replacement of original casement sash windows in front elevation with awning sash windows, the construction of external public telephone cabinet on footpath adjacent to northwest corner of building and the installation of additional private letter boxes. At some time prior to 1989, a single-storey flat roofed building was constructed to north of main office area, the sub-floor areas were enclosed with cream brick dwarf walls, lower sashes of front windows infilled and original room at northeast corner of building subdivided and refurbished with FC linings to provide internal staff toilet facilities. The rear verandah is enclosed to form staff lunch room. Around 1988 to 1990 there was a refurbishment of the office area to upgrade retail facilities. Works included demolition of existing private letter boxes, original timber entrance steps and balustrade and internal partition walls within public space and mail room. Installation of enlarged private letter box bays into side verandah area, new floor finishes, lighting, removal of skirting boards and some joinery, reconstruction of timber wall linings in public space and some plasterboard wall linings, installation of new cornices and counter joinery. In 1996, there was refurbishment and upgrade of the retail facilities. A disabled access ramp and extension to the non-original verandah were installed across the south side elevation. The brick addition on the north side of the building appears to have been removed by this date. In 2004, new counter joinery was installed in public space and retail display units were
