==History==
==History==
The area that is now known as Bunnaloo originally was split between two properties: the Cobram Station and [[Perricoota]]. In 1899, a crown lease on part of the Perricoota land expired and the [[Government of New South Wales|New South Wales Government]] split a paddock into six 700 acre homestead farms to be sold in 1901. Further subdividing of the Cobram Estate land allowed for more residents to move to the area.

Further subdividing of the Cobram Estate land allowed for more residents to move to the area.


The first Post Office in Bunnaloo was run from the home of a Mrs Hawkins, replacing the weekly mail run from [[Mathoura]] by Syd Larcombe. In 1924 a new railway line was laid, with Bunnaloo homing a new station. This allowed for easy transport of wheat or stock (previously it had to be carted 18 miles to Mathoura).<ref name="celebrations">{{cite book|last1=Back-to-Bunnaloo Committee|title=Souvenir of Back to Bunnaloo Celebrations 1970|date=1970|page=2}}</ref>

Further subdividing of the Cobram Estate land allowed for more residents to move to the area.

The first Post Office in Bunnaloo was run from the home of a Mrs Hawkins, replacing the weekly mail run from Mathoura by Syd Larcombe. In 1924 a new railway line was laid, with Bunnaloo homing a new station. This allowed for easy transport of wheat or stock (previously it had to be carted 18 miles to Mathoura).[3]

In 1926, Victor Hicks built a store in Bunnaloo. The Post Office was moved here, becoming the first official Bunnaloo Post Office (until its closure in 1974).[4]
