A small museum with fascinating history of early explorers and the building of the telegraph amidst challenging wilderness 150 years ago. A bit more detail would have been better as some of the displays seemed aimed at school kids: in places there was duplication and things seemed out of order. The staff were very busy eating their lunch and were on the surly side when I bought a book on the telegraph line. Allow no more than 30mins.

We were up and exploring too early for the buildings to be open, but we still learned heaps! The fact that this is accessible even outside of hours makes it truly unique and special - we were able to go around back and read all the informative placards and descriptions of everything. For someone who loves reading these bits and bobs, this was great! Spent more time than we anticipated just taking our time and having a wander. Thank you for making it available to everyone, even if it's early in the morning.

Interesting and educational on the history of how the early days of Post Office & Telegraph Station worked in a seaside town that was being established

This is an absolutely wonderful place to stop for a little while and learn about the history of Northern Queensland. The interactive displays and information were excellent. Thank you to Cardwell for restoring this building and creating such a pleasant surprise on the side of the highway. This is a gem that shouldn’t be missed.
