Walcha Road Post Office opened on 16 November 1882 and closed in 1976.

[1] Based on the Armidale train line, Walcha Road railway station served as the train stop for the Walcha district and as such carried a large volume of goods such as superphosphate, wool and livestock.

Livestock and goods are no longer carried and the old yards and sheds have been removed.

Walcha Road now consists of a small number of homes and a one-man police station.
