Hamelin Pool Telegraph Station, Telegraph station and campground in Shark Bay, Western Australia.
The Hamelin Pool Telegraph Station features a historic building, caravan park facilities, and accommodation options including powered sites and backpacker rooms.
Built in 1884, the telegraph station served as a vital communication link between Perth and Roebourne, facilitating messages across Western Australia until the mid-20th century.
The station museum displays artifacts and equipment that demonstrate the evolution of long-distance communication methods in rural Australian communities.
Visitors can access shared kitchen facilities in a converted camel shed, use barbecue stations, and enjoy a swimming pool while staying at the campground.
The station grounds offer direct access to Hamelin Pool, where ancient stromatolite formations represent Earth's earliest known life forms dating back 3.5 billion years.
