Map of Australia's Overland Telegraph Line, c. 1940Telegraph Station at Powell Creek, 1931
Powell Creek Telegraph Station was a repeater station for the Australian Overland Telegraph Line and it sat between the Tennant Creek Telegraph Station and the Daly Waters Telegraph Station. It was one of the more important telegraph stations along the line as inland weather conditions were so favourable that not all stations where required to support the line.[1]
The telegraph station takes it name from the nearby Powell Creek which was named by John McDouall Stuart on 19 June 1861 after JW Powell.[2]
It is located 60 km south of Elliott and 200 km from Tennant Creek. It listed on the Northern Territory Heritage Register[3][4] and was previously listed on the Register of National Estate.[5]
The area where it is located is now known as Pamayu (pronounced "Bama-yu") which is the Djingili name for this place.[6]
