The Hamelin Pool Telegraph Station was built in 1884 and became an important link in the telegraph line between Perth and Roebourne. The fascinating history of the telegraph station can be re-lived, by taking a tour of the museum which features relics from the days when the site was a repeater station on the Old Telegraph Line. A small entrance fee applies. Stromatolites are the number one attraction at Hamelin Pool. These ancient structures formed by organisms considered as some of the first living creatures on Earth are examples of what life on Earth was like 3.5 billion years old ago. A 200m boardwalk gives access to the stromatolites’ environment and interpretive signage helps explain all there is to know about these intriguing organisms.
