Pacific Cable Station, Historic telegraph station in Southport, Australia
The Pacific Cable Station consists of office buildings and staff quarters located near the Nerang River in Queensland's coastal region.
Established in 1902, the station handled international telegraph communications between Australia and other nations through submarine cables across the Pacific Ocean.
The station represented Australia's first direct telecommunication connection to North America, marking the beginning of faster international communication for the continent.
The remaining Southport Cable Hut structure stands as a preserved monument, registered in the Queensland Heritage Register for public viewing.
The facility processed approximately 500 telegraph messages each weekday during the early 1900s, serving as Australia's primary eastern seaboard communication point.
