Refer to all images for a better description. HISTORY: Alice Springs Post and Telegraph building was established in 1871 to relay messages between Darwin and Adelaide along Australia's Overland Telegraph Line. This not only connected Australia's population centres with the North of the Country, but it also connected Australia up with the undersea telegraph network of the British Empire. After the telegraph line was built, morse code messages travelling through Alice Springs could reach London in as little as 5 hours - slow by todays' standards, but revolutionary for people of the 19th century. Before that a message back to England would travel by boat and take 3 to 4 months each way. The Alice Springs Telegraph Station Historical Reserve marks the original site of the first European settlement in Alice Springs. Box-55-110523-AliceSprings
