    1885, Apr 2:- The Electric Telegraph Station at Geraldton was opened. Mr. D. Campbell was the Postmaster of the Post and Telegraph Office at the time and received £30 p.a. for his duties. Apr 7:- The Telegraph Line from Cardwell to Johnstone River was finally completed and handed over to the government. The Line followed along the route of the cattle and horse track of Scheu and Stamp. 1886, 14 private boxes were installed at the Geraldton Post Office, however, due to the decline in the need for this service by 1890 only 9 lock boxes were in service. 1906, Jan 28:- Severe Cyclone which crossed the coast near Cairns, devastated Geraldton (Innisfail), destroying buildings and crops. 1910, Jan:- Tenders were called for the construction of a new Post Office on a new site of the corner of Edith and Rankin Streets.

    I don't think he liked dogs. I could see him chasing them away before he took the photo.

    The hats suggest about 1905-10 to me.

    Several people are holding similar cards/envelopes. They might just be acting Post Officey for the camera, but maybe something was happening?

    The unlinkable PRONI historical map viewer puts the PO on the Promenade, about here in Streetview.

    Looking more closely, the house at right here is still standing ("CRAIGMORE"), and counting windows, the PO is No Longer Standing.
