Very interesting. Don't miss it. An important part of the town's history...both as a telegraph station and as part of the lost generation.

What a pity that the town of Alice Springs dose not have more of this quality and period of building in it. This is another of the areas excellently presented sights.Superbly laid out with plenty of parking and extensive picnic areas( if you can cope with the flies, which are the bane of life in the outback ) Well worth...

While the old photos and our guide Alec, who is a +80 year old member of the lost generation, were helpful in our gaining an understanding of the harsh conditions that existed in the Outback when this Station was an active site, the effort to replicate the interior of the buildings could have been better.

Wow, how things have changed in telecommunications since 1872 when this was a part of the link that connected the world to Australia by telephone. A well preserved and interesting range of buildings and exhibits of the Telegraph Station. There is also a great picnic grounds adjoining the Station.

The Telegraph Station is what put Alice Springs on the map as it was the first building in Central Australia. The buildings here are well preserved and the whole site is more attractive than I expected due to the colours of the rocks and the Todd River sand when contrasted against the ghost gums which are scattered around the site....

We had a guide who was one of the lost children himself. Not only did he give us all the information about the Telegraph Station, he was able to add to our knowledge about the lost generation. Excellent stop in Alice Springs.

Excellent preserved piece of history of Alice Springs and not to far out of town, and was a great hangout in the 60,s for a swim when there was plenty of water.

We found the Telegraph Station nothing special. It is interesting to walk around in the reserve and see the kangaroos or other animals going around. But I was very disappointed by the telegraph station itself... it is just a small building and you have also to pay the ticket to get in... we just had a walk around the fence... More

We enjoyed finding out about the start of Alice Springs and what life was like then. We saw wild wallabies and kangaroos nearby. There is an interesting book written by the daughter of the officer in charge of the telegraph station at the start of the 20th century.
