We stopped in here as we seen the sign. Once here it was easy accessable during the day. It wasnt locked up. We could walk through the building with ease. Read the history as we went. We also went over to the 2 man cemetery to have a look.

Beautiful buildings that are so well looked after. The information tells a great story. Loved walking around imagining myself in the era. A great piece of Australian history.

Would have been much better had we been able to get inside. However you have to pick up a key with a deposit back at Tennant Creek information centre. This should be made more obvious than only getting the info once you are there.

What a good stop over to stretch the legs and explore. There is a self guided pamphlet you can pick up at the gate when you get into the station, this is a must so you can learn about the area. If you are wanting to go into the main homes you need to leave a $20 deposit at the information centre to get a key.“Jonique Life”Follow our journey around Australia on Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok and YouTube as we highlight wonderful experiences and magical places you can add to your ever growing bucket list.

Really enjoyed checking out the old Telegraph Station. The area is well kept with plenty of interesting information. Some of the buildings can be entered which makes exploring all the more fun. We spent close to an hour looking around and taking photos. There's a visitor's book to sign and clean toilets. Definitely worth a look.

Although it is a very unique part of Australian history, there could be more information presented about the establishment of these important communication posts. Given that the site is without personnel, it's tough to provide more.
