阿德萊德郵政總局

King William Street is the main street in the Adelaide CBD and is blessed with some interesting colonial architecture, particularly the General Post Office and the Town Hall, both close to Victoria Square and other attractions, easily accessible by tram.

The General Post Office (GPO) is located at the corner of King William Street and Franklin Street on the north side of Victoria Square in downtown Victoria Square. The building of the General Post Office is still quite beautiful. It is more elegant than Adelaide Town Hall, the Adelaide Town Hall opposite to the North side, although it has bell towers. To the East is Adina Apartment Hotel Adelaide Treasury, Adelaide Finance Building. It's not far from Adelaide Central Market. The Adelaide General Post Office operates from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday. International mail for overseas visitors can be sent to Adelaide GPO, stamped with ", left to receive ", (Poste Restante) and postcode 5000. The post office will keep the mail for up to four weeks.

一個時代象徵的建築——General Post Office第一次來到這個城市，威廉國王街和富蘭克林街的拐角處是阿德萊德郵局還是讓我深有感觸記憶深刻。與這座宏偉的歷史建築隔街相望的便是維多利亞廣場。時代的象徵郵局的設計是1866年競賽的結果，而這座建築物的原狀則是1872年建造的。該建築裝飾有沐浴石灰石，宏偉的老建築共有兩層，一層有着巨大的大廳。這幢建築還有一個特色，就是有個鐘樓被稱為維多利亞塔，鐘的鐘聲是從“威斯敏斯特大教堂”鐘的鐘聲複製而來的。憑藉其維多利亞塔，直到20世紀初，郵政總局一直是阿德萊德最高的建築。內部仍然是郵局，可能是周圍最古老的郵局之一。由於近些年來互聯網的高速發展，傳統郵件已經基本消失在人們的視野。確實，我們大多數人都不記得上次寫信的時間。當我來到這裏，看到維多利亞時代的美妙內飾，瞬間感受到歷史一幕幕重現。溫馨提示：1. 大家可乘坐電車輕鬆到達2. 郵局內可以購買文具，書籍和紀念品
