ALICE SPRINGS TELEGRAPH STATION

Public BBQ

The Alice Springs Telegraph Station sits like a testament to Victorian ambition in the red heart of Australia, where in 1871 someone decided the desert needed a dose of civilisation. The preserved buildings tell their story with admirable restraint, while the museum manages to make telegraph history genuinely fascinating. The cafe serves proper coffee, which feels almost miraculous given the remoteness. Mandy's tours are worth timing your visit around; her knowledge transforms weathered stone into living history. The waterhole provides blessed respite from the Centre's relentless sun.
