Summary

[General description] These two stone buildings, one still with an iron roof and intact chimney, are part of the ruins of the settlement at Strangways Springs. Because of its reliable water supply this centre was Hogarth and Warren's pastoral station from 1867. From 22nd August, 1872 its Manager's house was taken over for use as a Repeater Station and Telegraph Office from when the Telegraph first began. The office was closed on 8th October, 1896 when its post and telegraph services were transferred to the nearby town of William Creek on the recently completed Marree- Oodnadatta railway. See B 3400 for another view. [On back of photograph] 'Reproduced in the Chronicle, April 24, 1926 / Strangway Springs, remains of the settlement, April, 1926'.
