Lonely Planet review for Telegraph Station

Laying the Overland Telegraph Line across Australia’s harsh Centre was no easy task, as you’ll discover at the small museum at the evocative Telegraph Station. The old stone station dates to the early 1870s and operated until 1932. It later served as a welfare home for Aboriginal children of mixed descent, until 1963. Guided tours operate between 9am and 4.30pm (April to October); phone for times. There’s also an informative station map that guides you through restored homestead buildings, a blacksmith shop and the telegraph station itself.
