Notes

Former Newcastle Waters resident, Peter Jones, advised (31 July 2015) that this building "is actually the Police Station at Newcastle Waters, built6 on Lots 3 & 4 in 1928. PH0323/0040 is of the same building. The Newcastle Waters Post Office is situated on Lot 6, built in 1942. The Police Station most likely doubled as a "Telegraph Office" prior to the establishment of the dedicated Post Office (Repeater Station)." See also PH0323/0040.,
