Darkan Post Office has a new home in the old NAB building on Burrowes St, opening there on Monday, March 23.
Lehua Chiswell, the Post Office licensee thanked everyone for being so supportive of the move and in particular thanked Jen Lutz, Brian Leslee and Fran Dawson for the hands on help of moving, all done over the Labour Day long weekend.
The fit out of the premises has been greatly admired by everyone going in there and that has been thanks to the efforts of Ben Chiswell.
Lehua's husband, Ben, who is a carpenter, worked flat out to get benches and shop fittings constructed and installed for the opening.
The new premises have also impressed the Australia Post Regional Manager who visited the first day they were open.
This is the third home for the Post Office during Lehua's reign as Darkan Post Office licensee in nine years, celebrating her nine years in the role on April 1.
This new post office home is so nice I don't think another move for the post office will be on the cards for a very long time.
Green Heart Project
West Arthur CRC is supporting Dusty Roads WA to create a travelling Green Heart composed of your crocheted or knitted green hearts.
The Green Heart will travel across Australia to show that even though we are isolated we are not alone.
If you can't knit or crochet, that's OK, you can sew hearts preferably in polar fleece material so they are easier to sew together.
Hearts can be dropped into the Green Bucket outside the CRC anytime during weekdays during April.
If you'd like to learn to crochet a heart then join Pam Stockley in a video conference on Wednesday April 15 at 10am.
Phone the CRC to register on 9736 2000 and they will send you the link and let you know how to prepare
