Cardwell Bush Telegraph, Heritage telegraph station in Cardwell, Australia.
The Cardwell Bush Telegraph features a single-story timber structure with four rooms, verandahs, and a kitchen house at 53 Victoria Street.
George McCallum constructed this building in 1870 as one of the first prefabricated government structures in remote areas of Queensland, Australia.
The northern section retains the original post office fixtures, shelving, and drawers, presenting the evolution of telecommunications in regional Australia.
