Old Post office
The original post office on this site was little more than a wood framed tent. A more substantial structure was built in 1896 on Brown Street, designed by legendary public works architect George Temple-Poole. An extension was made in 1903 out to Shenton Street to provide enough room for the 26 staff. The town's decline led to its closure in 1952, when it became a private residence. The owners demolished the original Brown Street section, leaving the part you see today.

Menzies Hotel
Former Railway Hotel
The only pub left in town outlasted the others by a hundred years, so it can't be too bad. They have a limited range of beer, the bar lounge smells bit musty and shows its age but that's part of the charm of the outback pub. Depending on the season they may also serve counter meals that are said to be quite substantial.
Mon–Fri 7:30AM–9PM, Sat Sun 8AM–9PMMeals $17.50. Rooms: double $90; single $70
