Help the National Trust protect our heritage by undertaking a regular volunteer commitment!

The National Trust works to preserve and promote Australia’s indigenous, environmental, and built heritage and culture.

A huge number of positions are available across the state varying from front of house, food service and clerical roles to guiding, research, promotions and fundraising.

Volunteering at the National Trust is a fantastic way to meet new people, develop new skills and contribute to the history of your local community.

About this site: The station was established in 1877 as one of the residential stations of the new Overland Telegraph Line. In 1896, the original timber buildings were replaced by new, larger stone buildings to the standard design of George Temple Poole. Unused since 1917, only the stone walls remain, an evocative testament to the 19th century communication breakthrough. The station has seasonal access by 4WD only.
