From Darwin to Adelaide: An epic rail journey on The Ghan - SilverKris

"The original 1872 relay outpost for overland telegraph communications and the site of the first European settlement in central Australia, now staged as a lively evening gathering spot. Visitors experience candlelit, campfire and hurricane‑lamp ambience at outdoor barbecues, with local entertainments ranging from camel rides to a home‑built PVC didgeridoo and a bandsman playing classic rock—an informal, convivial setting that blends colonial history with contemporary local culture." - Stephanie Zubiri

Great Cafe, Historic buildings look great but did not pay to check them out. May do another time. Completed the Trigg Hill and Cenetery Walk loop which was a great little climb and walk.

We visited today and had a highly informative tour with Mandy. She was very knowledgeable. We learnt so much about the history of the Alice Springs Telegraph Station and the local history. After the overview, we had a wander around by ourselves. Highly recommend this place.

I absolutely loved our visit and tour. I highly recommend going at a time when you can hop on a tour so you can learn more about the history and importance of this site. I learned a lot of the Alice Springs area and the telegraph.

I enjoyed this historic place. The first settlers of Alice Springs. How they just put up their buildings and even though they didn't ask the Aboriginal people for permission. They all got on fine it was only when things went pastoral conflict started. Farming not religious or though that always creates conflict. The cable ran all the way to Darwin .

The telegraph station has a beautiful open space and rich history that evokes a sense of nostalgia.

Historically very interesting as it is the birthplace of Alice Springs and was established in 1871 as part of the Overland Telegraph Line linking Darwin and Adelaide, and overtime linked Australia to the global telegraph network. The reserve has a number of well-preserved historic buildings and a museum. An informative place.
