THE TRAVELLING POST OFFICES OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA
Starting with a section on the road mails of the State, the book goes on to describe the development of it's railways and the operations and functions of the Travelling Post Offices of South Australia.
There is detailed information on the specification of the specially adapted rolling stock. Each stage of the development of the network is covered very thoroughly and is accompanied by the details of the timetables and schedules as well as examples of all the known handstamps.
This work will be of interest not only to the postal
historian studying the development of mail systems in South Australia
but also those interested in the railway itself. There are 32 pages
in annexe providing information on postal regulations as well as a useful
index.

1999, and National Philatelic Literature Exhibition, New Zealand, 2005,
Large Silver.
