Killarney / Killarney South / North Killarney

North and South Killarney both had their own post offices and both underwent name changes at various times. For convenience I have created one page for all of them.

Killarney post office, 27 km east south east of Warwick, opened on 1 July 1877 and was renamed Killarney South on 27 October 1905 but it appears the Killarney type 5b datestamp was not replaced until early 1907

Killarney North post office, 27 km east south east of Warwick, opened on 26 June 1889. It was renamed North Killarney in the mid 1890s and then Killarney on 27 October 1905 but it appears the North Killarney type 5b datestamp continued to be used until late 1907. A Killarney North datestamp cancel has not yet been seen
