Legendary Tailem Bend postie Alan Burt shares his tale
Tailem Bend Historians have welcomed guest speaker “Burtie” Burt, a local employee of Australia Post for his whole working life.
Guests and members at Tailem Bend Historians’ August meeting have been captivated by the tales of Alan “Burtie” Burt, the town’s legendary postie, with more than 50 years of dedicated service under his belt.
After launching his postal journey in January 1974, Mr Burt began as an assistant postal officer or, more humbly, a telegram boy, performing general duties in the southern division of the Postmaster-General.
