This little post office has all the usual services and is also an agent for the Commonwealth Bank. We visited on a Sunday so it was closed, there appears to be a residence attached.
The post office at Marlborough opened on 1 January 1861
Marlborough is a small township located 106 kilometres (66 mi) north west of the city of Rockhampton in central Queensland, Australia. The town is administered by the Rockhampton Regional Council, and lies on the Bruce Highway.
The town, first established in 1856, is a small service centre for the surrounding area, and one of a number of fuelling points on an otherwise isolated stretch of highway. To the south lies the Kunwarara Magnesite mine, which works one of the world's largest supplies of the mineral.
Marlborough is famous for producing the world's finest chrysoprase, a semi-precious gem once coveted by Alexander the Great and Cleopatra. The small but high-grade deposit is located about 20 kilometres (12 mi) south-south-west of the township and is universally regarded as the most valuable find in the world.
