The Post Office's place in the KellyGang story

All most as soon as the squatters came to North Eastern Victoria there as a need to have a system to develop the letters from home. In a short time there were regular deliveries of news and mail from Sydney and Melbourne. The postmasters in the towns also managed the telegraph.
