Australian National University Canberra Post Office
Located to the
west of the City Centre in the suburb of Acton, the Australian National
University foundation stone was laid in 1962. A post and telephone office was
established at the Australian National University in the Union Building at the
corner of Kingsley and Hutton Streets on 1 October 1964. The Office later
became a Licensed Post Office before subsequently closing in 2018.
As at January 2020, there was no post office located on the university campus.
A.C.T. Relief date stamp 'A' was
utilised on opening until arrival of the regular date stamp. The office
utilized a 39mm ‘ACT AUST’ date stamp recorded between 1965 and 1982 and a 39mm
‘ACT 2601’ date stamp recorded between 1979 and 1982. A 32mm ‘ACT 2601’ date
stamp is recorded in 1985.
A.C.T. Relief date stamp '126' was
used at the Office from 18 March 1985 to 3 April 1985 and A.C.T. Relief '127'
from 15 May 1985 to 20 May 1985. Priority Paid Relief '186' was seen used at
the Office in May 1987.
