Old Geelong Post Office

The Old Geelong Post Office, originally established in 1840, has a rich history that reflects the development of the region. The first post office was a modest setup in a store, evolving into a permanent structure completed in 1857. The iconic building that stands today was opened in 1891, notable for its clock tower which initially lacked a clock. A significant upgrade in 1911 added a grand clock and chimes, commemorating King Edward VII. In 1994, the post office relocated, and the historic building now serves as a youth services hub, making it a point of interest for both tourists and researchers exploring Geelong's heritage.
