Alice Springs Telegraph Station Historical Reserve
In 1871, Alice Springs was
a small telegraph repeater station near the red hills and a water hole.
A free 45-minute tour lets you wander around the old station master's
residence; the telegraph office, see the Morse code machine tapping; the
blacksmith's equipment the stables and old housing. May through October,
"maids" serve biscuits and damper from the original wood-fired ovens.
Pet camels, kangaroo joeys can be seen. You can walk one of the several
hiking trails on the grounds. A gift shop with coffee and snacks are
available.
National Pioneer Women's Hall of Fame
The establishment of the
National Pioneer Women's Hall of Fame was due to the efforts of outback
pastoralist and tourism pioneer, Mrs Molly Clark, of Old Andado Station,
Central Australia, and a small group of people who shared her dream.
It was felt that the
contribution of women to the development of Australia had not been
sufficiently recognized and a public meeting in Alice Springs was called
in February 1993 to gauge interest in starting a Hall of Fame for the
pioneering women of Australia. There proved to be immense interest and
an interim committee was formed. The next few months were spent drawing
up a constitution, becoming an incorporated association and adopting a
logo while negotiations took place for the use of a building as
temporary premises.

School of the Air
The Alice Springs
School of the Air provides an educational service for about 140 children
living on properties or settlements covering over 1 million square
kilometers of Central Australia. These children grow and develop in a
peculiar situation, isolated in a unique environment and their formal
education must of necessity be unorthodox.
The School of the Air simply adds to this already substantial education,
and attempts
to help its isolated pupils relate to the outside world. During the
process it would appear that the schoolıs students develop a maturity
and independence in study not usually found in the customary classroom
situation. These children know what has to be done, and when, and
organize themselves accordingly. They benefit from the individual
guidance they receive while working through the lessons which are done
at a rate best suited to each individual - and from the individual,
personal attention which their teacher can devote to them. On the other
hand it is equally obvious that the outback childıs development in some
areas is different from that of his or her city counterpart.
