In time past, the parcels office was the main point for parcels coming in and out of Dandenong. A lot of cargo travelled through these offices in the early days, one existing on almost all stations. Before the railways the tedious journey was performed by horse and cart. With the building of railways to connect and move people, there also came an easy way to move large amounts of parcels to the outer towns.
Do you remember the Parcels Office/Department?
Many people worked in the parcels office at Dandenong, from the early days of just one Porter handling all the incoming and outgoing, till near the end when cutbacks started to bite as trucks and couriers finally took control.
