While this Licenced Post Office looks 'the real deal' of the original built in 1897, that was demolished in 2007, and this is new replica. It is also the centre of a collection of Waymarking Departments.

When I visited Orbost, in eastern Gippsland in May, 2016, while on four weeks holiday, there was only 12 (TWELVE) Waymarks to find within a 80 km radius, and in fact only THREE within 30 km radius. [I ended up finding all within 60 km from here.] And within those 12 Waymarks in 90 km, there was only 5 different Departments!
It has taken me more than a year to get to the photos that I had taken, and combine those with all the data I had written down, so that within the last week there has been a minor explosion of Waymarks in Orbost.
Now, there are THIRTY newly Approved Waymarks, in NINE Departments, within 0.8 km. [With more than 2 more Waymarks, and at least two more Departments 'Pending'.] They current ones are in the following Departments, with a sample given.
2. Buildings WMWTHG Presbyterian Church
3. Business WMWTWV Newsagent
4. Culture WMWTHK Silhouette Art
6. History WMWTWP Timeline
8. Monuments WMWQTM Non-Specific Vet. Memorial
11. Recreation WMWTRM Public Playground
12. Signs WMWTWR You Are Here
13. Structures WMWTHF Bell Tower
14. Technology WMWQJY Town Clock
I hope you enjoy this country town as much as I did in the two part days that I was here.
