Ilabo (agency of Junee)		Geoff Chapman reports: We also evidently had an Agency at Ilabo. which can be added to the list of Branches, R/O's and Agencies. If you have ever driven thru this village, you would wonder why, though a friend of mine who lived the first 20 years of his life in Junee, tells me Ilabo was once a booming little town. 1970s Agency and Junee branch closed, according to NSW Heritage. John Beer states that CBC was never represented here, and that it was a Commercial Bank of Australia point of representation.
