Description
"The National Trust together with the Australian Bi-Centennial Authority is seeking to produce a description of the route of the Overland Telegraph Line which will ensure that this important part of Australia's history will not be lost with the passage of time and development." A search of records revealed little that was of real use in the accurate definition of the route. However it did provide three plans which would be of great assistance.,
