JAMES, Earl & Wendy 2018
Earl was commissioned to find out what remained of the Overland Telegraph Line between Katherine and Alice Springs. The National Trust intended to have the Line declared a 'heritage trail' but it was unknown what was left of it. In 1984, Earl and Wendy undertook the quest with Wendy's diary account included in the book.
The Historical Society of the Northern Territory acknowledges the Larrakia people, the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which History House stands, and acknowledges their continuing connection to land, sea, and community. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
