 Mr. J.R. Ryan was Postmaster during and after World War 2. He and his daughter Mary ran the Office practically unaided during the War, after 1941, at a particularly busy time because of the establishment of the R.A.A.F. base, before a Post Office was established at the base. For a time there much telegraphic traffic coming to the base, often in code, and Mr. Ryan was the only person qualified to operate the morse code equipment.

-The earliest postal services operated from Butler Station. This postal service formally opened as Mallala Post Office from 1 April 1865. Postal facilities in the days of settlement were poor. Hill &amp; Co. ran a mail coach from Adelaide to Two Wells, and for some years farmers took turns on Saturdays to visit Two Wells and collect the mail. Years later, after the construction of the bridge over the River Light (known as Paddys Bridge) at Korunye, a single horse buggy made a daily trip to Mallala from Two Wells to deliver mail. A railway service at Wasleys opened in 1869. The post office eventually relocated into the Mallala township, but the exact date, and the location it operated from, have not been determined. H.L. Roe is recorded as the first postmaster, from 1867 to 1870.
