Gallery
The Gallery contains images relevant to the Overland Telegraph, sourced from public and private collections. Viewing the collection creates a feel
for the geography, the work, and the individuals who built and used the Overland Telegraph. The collection will grow as the year progresses and
new contributions are made. We welcome images, both contemporary to the Line and current to activities in 2022. If you wish to add to the
collection, please contact us.

Text and illustrations from earlier eras reflect the attitudes of the times
and might cause offence in today's society.
