Westbrook / Westbrook Siding

Westbrook post office, 10 km south west of Toowoomba, opened on 1 April 1883 as Westbrook. It was renamed Westbrook Siding in 1897 before reverting back to Westbrook in 1910. However, the Westbrook Siding date stamp continued to be used. A date stamp with the name "Westbrook" should also exist for the period 1883 - 1896 but I have yet to see an example
