alice springs telegraph station historical reserve印象
-
This is the site of the first transcontinental telegraph line that united northern and southern Australia. if is Alice Springs, don't miss it.
-
All part of a side excursion when travelling on the Ghan, you get to visit the Telegraph station. Its a bit of a rush to fit it all in but it was really interesting with some useful history of the way the area developed with the indigenous population etc.
-
It's worth a walk here even if the Station is already closed for the day. In the early evening, we walked around the Station and saw several kangaroos, and got a feel for what life was like for those who manned the Station. A short visit is fine, or, if they're open, go for a longer time.

Did this as part of a tour, it was interesting and informative but doesn't have a huge amount to offer
-
Great solid examples of the technology available in the 1800's fo communication. Walk through the buildings that have hands on displays and actual furnishing of the pioneers who established telegraph communications in the Northern Territory. You can see the original Alice Springs, which is not really a spring.

This was a lovely place to visit for a picnic, but also had a small cafe on the site. The view over the river was special due to the recent rainfall. Worth a visit
-
The restored historic buildings of this telegraph station give a good picture of life in the early days of Australia in the remote center and the difference the telegraph made in linking Australia to the world. You can see the station master's house to get an idea of life in the country in the latre 1800's as well as the school room, blacksmith's shop, kitchen building and post office along with the actual telegraph station.

Very interesting attraction I only wished I had more time there. Everybody is very friendly and everything is displayed and signed excellently. Watch out for the wild life as well many interesting birds fly very close overhead. It was nice after 40 years of learning about the british colonies and the pioneers who came through the center for my o level to be in a place where some of it actually happened.

This was another excursion off The Ghan. The reserve was well set out and easy to get around. Quite an insight into how Alice Springs originated, with great historical significance. Well worth a visit.

As we drove to visit the Overland Telegraph Station, our guide told us about Alice Springs and how it began as a repeater station along the Overland Telegraph Line. Something I was taught in school and it seemed surreal to actually be here and visit. The Station itself has been restored and presents its unique history in a very special way. I would recommend this visit to everyone as it gives a greater appreciation of the difficulties of the early settlers and explorers.
