Description

Long before the Stromatolites were discovered, Hamelin Pool was an important transport and communication hub.

In 1884 the Hamelin Pool Telegraph Station was built and became an important link in the telegraph line between Perth and Roebourne, Western Australia.

Originally named the “Flint Cliff Telegraph Station” after a local landmark, the station played a vital role in Western Australia’s communication system until the advent of the public ‘telex’ system spelt its demise in the late 1950’s.

Also known as Flagpole Landing in the early 1900’s, Hamelin Pool was an important transport terminus and was the landing point for cargo vessels bringing in supplies and taking out wool from surrounding stations as well as one of the main suppliers of Sandalwood in WA.
