 In 1926 when school teacher Mr John Trainer came to Barabba he required the use of the pantry so the people built themselves a small wood and iron structure measuring&nbsp;9 ft. x 8 ft. on the corner diagonally opposite the school house. They purchased and installed letter boxes as the post office was only open for 1 hour&nbsp;per day. In the beginning there were three mail runs a week from Stockyard Creek and later this became a daily service.&nbsp; In the 1960s the Barabba post office,&nbsp;and the Stockyard Creek post office were closed as recognized offices and a roadside delivery was provided from Owen.
