The site represents the communication facilities in Jitarning from the beginnings of the area's development.
The post office and phone exchange for Jitarning was operated from the farm house by Mrs Curran. The phone exchange was an important communication link and also a social interaction for the women who operated them. When Mrs Curren died in the 1930s, the post office and phone exchange transferred to Lowe's Store in Jitarning townsite.
