The town that is now Alice Springs was a telegraph station when Doris Bradshaw Blackwell went there as a young girl in 1899.
Doris Blackwell's father, Thomas Bradshaw, was the officer-in-charge of the telegraph station from 1899 to 1908. He took his young family from Oodnadatta, the railhead, on buggy ride of more than 300 miles.
