This site at Franklin Parade, Yilki, is being prepared by local contractor K.L. Virgin & Sons who will build seven luxury home units. Each unit will have a large lounge, dining room, spacious modern kitchen and separate laundry and bathrooms with ample cupboard space A feature of the development will be walled port gardens to each unit, giving complete privacy, and an individual carport for each unit with driveways from the main approach. The whole area will be tastefully landscaped with lawns and trees. The units should be available for release in December this year. 

Here a bulldozer is demolishing the former home of Mrs. Shirley Rumbelow and another house, iron and brick owned by Mrs. Ruby Rumbelow, was burned to the ground and then carted away. The Yilki post office at left was moved and then replaced on blocks. When the home units are completed the post office will close down, the postmaster, Mr. Ken Rumbelow, said this week. 

However, the District Postal Manager, Murray Bridge, Mr. H.A. Riebeling, said that Australia Post's role in the Yilki area was still under consideration.
