Tennant Creek Telegraph Station

[2] It operated as a repeater station as part of the Overland Telegraph Line which connected Darwin to Adelaide.

By the 1920s it featured a blacksmith shop, cart shed, ration store, meat house, smokehouse and cellar.

[4] In 1925, a linesman discovered gold, with the discovery quickly leading to the establishment of a township to the south of the telegraph station.

In 1935 a post and wireless office became operational in the town of Tennant Creek itself,[5] so that the telegraph station was closed.

The claim was resolved in August 2001 with the historical reserve awaiting official naming in April 2002.
