Charlton post office

Jade BENHAM (Mildura) (13:48): A huge shout-out of support to Russell of the Charlton post office. This historic building burnt down recently – to the ground – which included Russell’s home, leaving a small country town without its post office. Local post offices are a vital part of the community, as is their postmaster, so this is devastating. Well done to the Buloke Shire Council for leaping into action to make the local hall a makeshift post office for the time being, and it looks to be a well-oiled machine. Well done, Russell. I know the entire district has rallied around with offers of support, and that extends to anything that my office can do also.
