Alice Springs Telegraph Station Historical Reserve
Advertisement
The Alice Springs Telegraph Station Historical Reserve is the birthplace of Alice Springs and a pivotal link in Australia's Overland Telegraph Line, established in 1871. This historic site dramatically reduced communication times, allowing messages to reach London in as little as five hours, a remarkable feat for the 19th century.
Visitors can explore the Heritage Precinct, enjoy guided tours, and learn about the site's role as a residential institution for mixed-race Aboriginal children before becoming a historical reserve in 1963. The reserve also features a café offering meals influenced by local ingredients and various walking and biking trails for outdoor enthusiasts.
