The Inneston Post Office was built in 1927 to service the Inneston townsite which was named after its founder, Mr W.R.D. Innes’, a director of the Peninsula Plaster Company that took up leases for the harvesting of gypsum, north of Cape Spencer. Initially the bagged gypsum was hauled along a railway to Stenhouse Bay jetty for shipping overseas by clydesdale horses and later by small diesel engines.
The Post Office continues being used until the the 1970's when the mining ceased and the town was sold to the government, today the old post office is available as holiday accomodation

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing Australia Post waymark, you will need to post a unique picture of the Australia Post sign. Including your GPS device in the picture is not neccesary and wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
