Telegraph Hill

via Parry Creek Road, Wyndham, Western Australia, Australia, 6740 Arrow
In 1914 the Wyndham Wireless Station was built on top of Telegraph Hill, in Parry Lagoons Nature Reserve. It was operational until 1921 and assisted ships entering Wyndham Port. There are remains of the buildings that were used to house the people that operated the station. One of these buildings when it was closed was moved to Wyndham and is now a guest house. The view at the top of Telegraph Hill shows a 360 degree perspective of the surrounding area, including part of the Ord River floodplain and Parry's Creek. There is a short 800m walk through the remaining foundations of the buildings that housed the station workers. Along this walk there are information signs that detail the history of the area as well as features and plants in the landscape. Telegraph Hill is a 15-minute drive from Wyndham and a one-hour drive from Kununurra. Visitors can take a three-hour flight from Perth to Kununurra. Know before you go and check for alerts, emergency incidents and road/park closures in parks www.emergency.wa.gov.au and https://alerts.dbca.wa.gov.au.
