13.01.2022 The SA Government's COVID-19 website is the official and trusted source of information about the current crisis. To be properly informed and make the right decisions, it is essential you use up to date information from official sources. Be especially cautious with third party interpretations and speculation in social media. Be wary of reposted and shared information from other sources, as you often cannot verify how old or reliable it is. https://www.covid-19.sa.gov.au/

12.01.2022 From Monday November 30th 2020, the mail in Nairne will be processed at a new location for the first time in 130 years. As we celebrate this significant development, we wanted to reflect on the history of the post office. The Nairne Post Office must have been the most visited building in the Main Street of Nairne. The building is described as a mid-Victorian era, government style brick and stone post office, with a projecting gabled front containing paired, narrow windows, t...he Royal crest and a veranda, with a gabled roof. The style is typical of government buildings of the era. The original post office was built around 1889 and is the projecting front, with the Royal crest above the two windows, which is now part of the residence. The structures to the sides, including the section where the post office operated until recently, were extensions in later years. The land for the post office was transferred in 1876 to "Her Most Gracious Majesty Lady Queen Victoria" for the purposes of a post office, telegraph station and police station. It took another 13 years for the post office to be operating there, by which time a separate police station was built. In 1952, the post office was transferred from "the Crown" to the Post Master General's Department of the Commonwealth of Australia (the PMG), in whose ownership it stayed until it became privately owned in 1979. Although the business of the Nairne Post Office has changed significantly in the 130 years since it opened and is now in a modern new location, it will remain the hub of the community. The owners of the Nairne Licenced Post Office, Craig and Carole Sadler, make a valuable contribution to our community, not just through their business, but through their generous character and significant level of volunteering. In the old photo, taken in 1895, the original post office is on the right. Nairne was an important staging point for the mail delivery from Adelaide to the eastern states. The mail coach from Adelaide would stop in Nairne to meet and transfer mail to the coach from Murray Bridge. The driver would stay in Nairne overnight and return to Adelaide the next day with the mail for Adelaide, making Nairne an important first and last stage in a complex relay of mail coaches that carried the mail in and out of Adelaide to Sydney and Melbourne. #nairnehistory See more

The Nairne RSL will be laying a wreath, observing one minutes silence and reciting the ode. You are welcome to attend, but please respect social distancing. If you wish to lay a wreath or tribute, please do it in your own time after the ceremony concludes.
