 Claremont Showground: 'POST & TELEGRAPH OFFICE/"6" OCT '"1920"/R.A.S. GROUND W.A.' triple-oval (day & year inserted in manuscript)
largely very fine complete strike in blue on 'Paid Telegrams' piece. Almost certainly a TO only that was open only during Royal Agricultural Society Shows held Sept/Oct each year. Recorded but not illustrated in PMI. In fact, the office is not listed
in the authoratative 'Post Office Guides' of the period, probably because they were compiled in the first half of each year but the office was open only in the second half. (Image1) (Image2)

Ballidu PO 16.8.1914, although the actual re-naming appears to have taken place later [Railhead & Railway Siding; 38km S of Dalwallinu]. PMI states "no marking known"; the first recorded example. The Department of Lands & Survey called the town Duli
after the nearby Duli Rockhole; local residents wanted Balli Balli after a nearby soakage; eventually they reached the compromise 'Ballidu'. PMI states that the first cds so inscribed is known from 1.7.1915. (Image1) (Image2)
