Review:
Alice Springs Telegraph Station is a Historical Reserve that marks the spot of the first European settlement in Alice Springs. Established in 1871, the station was responsible for relaying messages to and from the Overland Telegraph Line. Communication along this line connected Australia’s NT population with one another, and with the British Empire. With the invention of the telegraph line, messages written in Morse code could be sent from Alice Springs to England in five hours, compared to three or four months when sent by boat. Today, visitors can participate in a guided tour to learn more about the history of Telegraph Station.
