Twenty to the Mile. The story of Sir Charles Todd and the Overland Telegraph Line.

[@TheFireflycam]

By marriage, I am united with the Todd’s, my uncle jimmi is a direct descendant of sir Charles Todd, was cremated today, a magnificent man, he drove buses that allowed people from all over the earth, to discover the wonders of Australia, may he find comfort with my father and uncle in heaven, I love them all so much, our line has always been all about serving those in need, we all have devoted our lives to helping all those we could help. It is natural, and under heaven, not forgotten. Love all you can, it is all encompassing, apart a grand design we shall both experience and witness sometime after we leave this world behind, we are divine beings, learning from a very human experience, ……love is all you need ♥

I have so much respect especially for these early pioneers specializing in the telegraph. There should be more emphasis teaching this piece of Australian history in detail in our schools. Could someone please confirm if it was just one wire that was strung overhead and if so how did that work as I am of the belief that two wires are needed to complete the circuit (?)
