Eyre Telegraph Station




This is their biggest structure, it is a rabbit, bird, possum and wallaby proof kitchen garden. They also had a animal pen for sheep and chooks. Check out the Wire knot, and they dug this below ground water tank. When the plains flood the tank fills and the farmer has to cart the water back to the homestead some 5 km away. It was plastered , had a silt trap and was fenced.
