Ozbeach Andy's video: Tennant Creek Old Telegraph Station

Produced with CyberLink PowerDirector 18 Tennant Creek Telegraph Station Historical Reserve To access the Tennant Creek Telegraph Station, you will need to collect the key from the Battery Hill Mining Centre. The Tennant Creek Telegraph Station was built in 1872 from stone quarried from a site nearby. If you visit the station, you will get a glimpse of the hardship, suffering and camaraderie of those who built the Overland Telegraph Line. The telegraph line changed the Northern Territory (NT) forever and provided Australia with its first line to Britain. It was 3,600km long and follows the steps taken by John McDouall Stuart in 1862. On a walk through the station buildings, you'll also learn of the discovery of gold in the area in 1925 and how thousands flocked to Tennant Creek.
