This mural depicts the original post office building (and telegraph office) as it stood on this site in 1910. Used between 1872 and 1969, it was demolished in 1970 to make way for the current building.
THIS MURAL WON THE NATIONAL AUSTRALIAN STREET ART “COMMUNITY ART” AWARD, 2023.
Designed by Kapunda mural artist Danny Menzel, the mural was hand painted off-site over several months by Danny and volunteers.
On the left is Al Sherrah, Kapunda’s postman from the 1980’s to 2000’s, pictured here as a postman would have looked in the 1950’s.
Also pictured is one of Kapunda’s several heritage red post boxes (still in use) and some customised Kapunda-themed postage stamps, featuring Map the Miner and Sir Sidney Kidman.
Installed in 2017. Funded by local donations to KMTP and a Community Development Grant from Light Regional Council for materials.
