Heritage Listed Uki Post Office - Built in 1909..

Historical Sites and Heritage Locations

Uki Post Office Gallery - Art Post Uki

In the tiny town of Uki in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, the postman delivers much more than just letters. Gary Wall has transformed the 109-year-old post office into a hip gallery and cafe, while continuing to offer the services of a traditional postie. The concept surfaced in early 2017, after Wall completed an MBA only to discover the corporate cultures he encountered in job interviews failed to inspire him. An advertisement for a post office popped into his inbox. He said to a friend he could just buy a post office and semi-retire at the age of 34’. He figured he could also turn the space into an art gallery as well as roasting and serving coffee. Wall employed local tradies to help renovate the building, which was in pretty bad repair. Cluttered cabinetry was removed to open up space, new shelving and a counter for the coffee machine were installed, and the floorboards were sanded back. He has also installed a coffee roaster, with plans to diversify the business and employ more locals.

Lyrebird track

Natural Attractions

Lyrebird track

Surround yourself with the lush subtropical rainforest of World Heritage-listed Wollumbin National Park by taking a short hike on Lyrebird track. Experience this beautiful Gondwana Rainforest of Australia on this easy walking track that takes you across Breakfast Creek, then winds through palm forest to a scenic viewing platform. A huge diversity of animals, birds and plants exist here and each plays an important role in the rainforest ecosystem. Leaves, branches, fruit and seeds constantly drop from the tree canopy to form leaf litter. This provides shelter and camouflage for many creatures on the forest floor such as frogs and ground birds. Fungi, insects and animals help to break the organic matter down, which the trees can then reabsorb as nutrients. Brush turkey can be seen foraging through this leaf litter for insects and seeds. They always have one eye on the job and another looking out for predators, because it doesn’t need to be a special occasion for carpet pythons to enjoy a turkey lunch.
