Macpherson Homestead - WA

"History of the Macpherson Homestead
The homestead was the home of Duncan and Mary Macpherson who settled in Carnamah with their children in 1868. The Macpherson's established a pastoral station named Carnamah, and during their 70-year residence their homestead was known as Carnamah House.
The northern telegraph line to Champion Bay (Geraldton) was built passing their homestead as it was the only permanent residence in the district. The last link that joined up the completed telegraph line was connected in Carnamah on 5 June 1874. A telegraph office was run from an outbuilding by Duncan’s daughters for almost 40 years."
