Green screw top plastic container located on a popular walk in the telegraph station reserve
Bradshaw walk is one of several walks within the reserve. This is a favorite walk for my daughters and I ask Kangaroos are frequently seen lazing under the shade of a tree. I saw 3 of them today as I placed this cache.
There is a FTF prize of an unactivated Aussie Track-A-Bear travel bug. There is other swag present for swapping. Please carefully place Rock covering back as found.
The cache is located about 1 metre off the trail.
The Alice Springs Telegraph Station Historical Reserve marks the original site of the first European settlement in Alice Springs.
Established in 1872 to relay messages between Darwin and Adelaide, it is the best preserved of the 12 stations along the Overland Telegraph Line.
Construction of this Telegraph Station began in 1871. The township of Alice Springs takes its name from the waterhole a short distance to the east of the Station buildings.
This Telegraph Station operated for 60 years, and then served as a school for Aboriginal children.
The Reserve is around 4km north of Alice Springs along the Stuart Highway.
Alternatively there is a walking and cycling track into the Reserve via Schwartz Crescent and another along the west bank of the Todd River.
The Reserve is accessible all year round. The cooler months (April to October) are the most pleasant to visit in.
The Reserve is open between 8am and 9pm all year round, and the Historical Precinct is open between 8am and 5pm every day except Christmas
Toilet facilities, electric barbecues, picnic furniture, information and a kiosk are all available here.
