King William Street is the main street in the Adelaide CBD and is blessed with some interesting colonial architecture, particularly the General Post Office and the Town Hall, both close to Victoria Square and other attractions, easily accessible by tram.
The General Post Office (GPO) is located at the corner of King William Street and Franklin Street on the north side of Victoria Square in downtown Victoria Square. The building of the General Post Office is still quite beautiful. It is more elegant than Adelaide Town Hall, the Adelaide Town Hall opposite to the North side, although it has bell towers. To the East is Adina Apartment Hotel Adelaide Treasury, Adelaide Finance Building. It's not far from Adelaide Central Market. The Adelaide General Post Office operates from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday.

一个时代象征的建筑——General Post Office第一次来到这个城市,威廉国王街和富兰克林街的拐角处是阿德莱德邮局还是让我深有感触记忆深刻。与这座宏伟的历史建筑隔街相望的便是维多利亚广场。时代的象征邮局的设计是1866年竞赛的结果,而这座建筑物的原状则是1872年建造的。该建筑装饰有沐浴石灰石,宏伟的老建筑共有两层,一层有着巨大的大厅。这幢建筑还有一个特色,就是有个钟楼被称为维多利亚塔,钟的钟声是从“威斯敏斯特大教堂”钟的钟声复制而来的。凭借其维多利亚塔,直到20世纪初,邮政总局一直是阿德莱德最高的建筑。内部仍然是邮局,可能是周围最古老的邮局之一。由于近些年来互联网的高速发展,传统邮件已经基本消失在人们的视野。确实,我们大多数人都不记得上次写信的时间。当我来到这里,看到维多利亚时代的美妙内饰,瞬间感受到历史一幕幕重现。温馨提示:1. 大家可乘坐电车轻松到达2. 邮局内可以购买文具,书籍和纪念品
