store. 
This 
photo 
of 
the 
Ballinafad 
store 
built 
in 
1905 
was 
taken 
by Robert 
Armstrong 
in 
the 
very early 1900s. 
Note 
the 
horse 
drawn 
wagon 
with 
the 
box 
on 
the 
back 
tied 
to 
the 
store 
verandah. 
The 
box 
was 
used 
to 
transport 
the 
mail 
from 
Georgetown 
to 
the 
store 
where 
local 
residents 
could 
pick 
it 
up. 
Rural 
delivery had 
not 
yet 
been 
established. 
This 
vehicle 
was 
known 
as 
the 
Ballinafad 
stage.
