can really see the horses now.
It looks like a big storm is brewing.











Dust storm brewing.

Out on the plains the wild horses prancing lifting their heads like brumbies at water dancing and neighing like saying we are the bosses of this wide brown land called Australia.

holidays are over for the time being.

seems like there is some good jobs going at the Telegraph station for indigenous adults.



OVERVIEW
The Alice Springs Telegraph Station Historical Reserve marks the original site of the first European settlement in Alice Springs.

Established in 1872 to relay messages between Darwin and Adelaide, it is the best preserved of the 12 stations along the Overland Telegraph Line.

Construction of this Telegraph Station began in 1871. The township of Alice Springs takes its name from the waterhole a short distance to the east of the Station buildings.

The Alice Springs Telegraph Station is set in a National Park of 445 hectares, beside a natural spring in the Todd River, some 3 kilometres north of the town. The spring was named after Alice Todd, wife of the then Superintendent of Telegraphs for South Australia, Charles Todd, after whom the River is named.
In October 1870 the South Australian government allocated $250,000 for the construction of an Overland Telegraph Line from Port Augusta in South Australia, to Palmerston (now Darwin), along a route closely following that of explorer John McDouall Stuart, who successfully traversed the continent at his third attempt on July 24th 1862. Construction of the 3,000 kilometre line was in three sections. Private tenders were called for two sections of 800 km. each. Messrs. R.R. Knuckey, G.R. McMinn, H. Harvey, A.T. Woods and W. Mills, divided up the remaining 1400 km., to be built through the little known central area. A Scotsman, John Ross, assisted by Alfred Giles, was appointed to find a shorter route through this central mountainous region, however, it was surveyor Mills who discovered Heavitree Gap, at the southern entrance to Alice Springs, and who found and named Alice Springs, the site for the telegraph station.

Overview

The Alice Springs Telegraph Station Historical Reserve marks the original site of the first European settlement in Alice Springs.

Established in 1872 to relay messages between Darwin and Adelaide, it is the best preserved of the 12 stations along the Overland Telegraph Line.

Construction of this Telegraph Station began in 1871. The township of Alice Springs takes its name from the waterhole a short distance to the east of the Station buildings.

This Telegraph Station operated for 60 years, and then served as a school for Aboriginal children.

How to Get There

By vehicle, the Reserve is around 4km north of Alice Springs along the Stuart Highway.

Alternatively there is a walking and cycling track into the Reserve via Schwartz Crescent and another along the west bank of the Todd River.

What to See and Do

Guided Tours of the Historical Precinct operate throughout the year. Phone 8952 3993 to confirm tour times.

The Station was protected as a Historical Reserve in 1963, and a number of stone buildings have now been restored. These buildings house furnishings and artifacts from early last century, and are preserved as an historic display.

My Country By Dorothea Mackellar.

I love a sunburnt country,

A land of sweeping plains,

Of ragged mountain ranges,

Of droughts and flooding rains.
