Telegraph Point on the Wilson River

Telegraph Point is located on the Wilson River. The local attractions can be clearly divided for planning your trip: by the water, there is a rest area, a boat ramp and activities such as water skiing and canoeing; on land, there is bushwalking and an equipped play area. Historical landmarks and a monthly farmers’ market round out the picture. You can tailor your stay to whether the river, recreation, history or a particular date is most important to you.

Wilson River and Water Activities

Log Wharf Reserve is a rest area with a picnic area beneath the Pacific Highway bridge. The reserve also has a boat ramp providing access to the Wilson River. This brings together a place to take a break and access to the water. Facilities may change, and access to the water may depend on prevailing conditions. Check the latest information before your visit if you are planning to use these facilities.

There are three main canoe routes on the Wilson River near Telegraph Point. Water skiing is also a local activity, though its availability may vary depending on conditions. Canoeing and water skiing are therefore two different water activities to choose from.

Activities on Land

Bushwalking is another local activity in Telegraph Point. Nearby, Cairncross State Forest lies to the south of the town and Ballengarra State Forest to the north. This north–south orientation helps distinguish the two nearby natural areas and understand the location of the surrounding landscape.

Charlie Watt Reserve Play Space has two slides with ladder access, a climbing wall and two swings, including a baby swing. There is also a seesaw and natural play elements. Individual pieces of equipment may change as part of ongoing maintenance; check the current facilities before your visit.

Historical Traces

At Log Wharf Reserve, on the south bank of the Wilson River beside the road bridge, is the best-preserved old wharf. It adds a historical connection to the reserve’s role as a rest and picnic area.

The First World War Roll of Honour at Telegraph Point Public Hall is a wooden honour board mounted on the wall, bearing the names of people who served in the First World War. While the wharf connects the town’s history with the river, the honour board draws attention to the people who served in the war.
