Australia Post

This Australia Post may be the tiniest one I’ve ever seen. There’s room for about five people to stand in it, and all you can really do is post things. There are no displays of cards and cookbooks and tennis rackets and washing machines that you can buy like all of the other Australia Post outlets these days (ok, some of those products may be exaggerated), but I like it that way.
Though sparse and squishy, I love this post office. The lady who always seems to be behind the counter is friendly, efficient, and never too busy to patiently answer questions. This is the place to get in, conduct your business, and get out quickly. An ideal way to go about sending stuff in the mail.

With all the up market shops on King William Road, its nice to find this one quaint little place that almost feels like it belongs to another era — that’s how I feel about the Australia Post post office at Hyde Park.
This is possibly the tiniest post office I’ve ever been to and it is a one man show. There seems to be just the one person on duty and he’s made this his domain. While you can still access all the normal Australia Post services, you had just better hope there’s not more than three other people ahead of you to post their letters because you simply won’t get inside.
I have heard people comment on some sort of rudeness in this particular post office but I have to stress that I’ve never experienced it and I find the service friendly and always helpful. Even if you just go and visit once, stop by at this tiniest of post offices just to experience the sheer cuteness of the place. I would be really interested to know if anyone knows of a smaller post office branch in an inner city location.
