Ashlee Gray never thought she'd run a post office at age 27, but her decision to buy one with her family has saved her community from losing its local store.

Help keep family & friends informed by sharing this articleAt 27, Ashlee Gray never thought she'd be running a post office, let alone one in her hometown of Thargomindah in Queensland's outback.

The post office is one of a handful of businesses in the remote south-west Queensland town, situated about 1,000 kilometres west of Brisbane. As well as the post office, the couple owns the local grocery store across the road. They are also slowly renovating the quaint postmaster's cottage, adding a cafe and a retail space, and bringing its colourful country garden back to life.They have a pet macaw, Frankie, and a sulphur crested cockatoo, Maggie, on display for locals to meet, as well as an estimated 70 other pet animals, many of them fish.

The post office services a vast area of the region, with posties deployed to deliver mail to outlying stations as far as the NSW border.
