Hi, I live on the Sunshine Coast but north of Grantham's Landing. I'm in Garden Bay.
Do not have any postmarks on Grantham's, but will keep looking, Cheers

Do we have any members who live in BC and/or have access to postmarks from Grantham`s Landing ? The PO has been closed for some time, but would be interested in collecting an old postmark.
