Overland Telegraph Track


The Old Telegraph Track (OTT), better known these days as the Telegraph Track, was the original path for the Overland Telegraph Line, once the only means of communication for those living on Cape York.

Old Telegraph Track (OTT) is a rough road accessible only during the dry season in Australia, located on Cape York, in tropical north Queensland. The road is 70km long from Bramwell Station to the Jardine River. It's definitely 4WD only with many creeks to cross, the track is generally narrow, with some sections being very rocky and eroded.
