The old telegraph station in Alice Springs was built in the 1870s near a water hole of the dry Todd River in the Northern Territory. The Australian overland telegraph lines were to run north to south at this spot where a town originally named Stuart was established in 1888. Stuart became known as Alice Springs in 1933. The old telegraph station, two kilometres north of the town, is now a museum.
