This is where the town of Alice Springs started – where the Overland Telegraph Station established a repeater station and an iconic town was born. It’s also the place where the real Alice ‘spring’ is located.
You can look through the beautifully restored historic Telegraph Station buildings, learn about the tough pioneers and the Aboriginal people who helped them establish the town. There is now a great cafe serving yummy homemade treats, too. The Telegraph Station is a favourite picnic and BBQ destination for us locals, with shady trees, lots of lush grass and free gas BBQs.
Cost to tour the heritage buildings is about $9 per adult. .
It’s an easy half hour walk along the Todd River to the Telegraph Station if you don’t have a car. By car, it’s 3km north of town on the Stuart Highway.
