Adam’s Old Staging Post Historic Site 1883
In 1882, a petition signed by the families in the Harvey River Settlement was presented to the Governor requesting that a Post Office be established near the Harvey River Bridge on the Perth-Bunbury Road.
It opened the following year, and a horse and coach delivered mail to Mrs William Adam’s house. The slab cottage with a shingle roof and a stone chimney was located on the northeast corner of South Western Highway and Weir Road.
A staging post and Harvey’s first Post Office operated there until it was damaged by fire in 1893.
