Coleambally Post Office Rally

Australia Post closed our Licensed Post Office and left Coleambally with a trestle table under a carport, no PO boxes, no banking, no bill payments and no parcel tracking.

The pharmacy stepped in because the community needed someone to, and they have done a good job, but a stopgap was never meant to be the answer for a town of more than 1,000 people. 73 post offices closed across Australia last year and Coleambally will not be the next regional town that gets quietly written off.

So we are taking it to the street.

The rally is on Tuesday 28 April at 8am in the Coleambally main shopping area, and it will be over in 30 minutes so everyone can still get to work and the kids can still make it to school.

Bring the kids on the way through, bring your neighbours and bring a sign with you, the bigger and clearer the message, the harder it is for Australia Post to keep looking the other way. Core Flute from Bunnings or a sheet of cardboard will both do the job.

The PA system and speakers are organised. What we need from the community is a turnout Australia Post cannot ignore.

If you can get the word out to one more person in Coly today, please do.
