My display (top next page) illustrated a range of insulators used on the Overland Telegraph Line. This Line was built during the period 1870 -72 between Adelaide in the South and Darwin in the North across the arid interior of Australia which then enabled Australia to communicate by telegraph via the rest of the world as a submarine telegraphic cable had also been laid between Darwin and Java. Telephone lines were added during the mid 20th century.


I also entered a display in the Favourite Five Collectables Category. You will notice in the lower photograph that the display also features two insulators, the
