History The traditional owners of country throughout the Telegraph Point and Rollands Plains region are the Ngaku people (north of the Wilson River along the coast and inland to Kemps Pinnacle in the Willi Willi National Park), and the Ngambaa peoples (south of the Upper Wilson River, inland through Bril Bril towards the Manning). The first European land grants in the Telegraph Point area were issued in the region then-known as ‘Prospect’ in 1832. The name derives from the telegraph line which crossed the river in 1869. The river played an important role in the logging of the surrounding forests and there are the remains of several old wharves to be seen, the best-preserved of which is on the south bank beside the traffic bridge in Log Wharf Reserve. A railway station was located in the town between 1917 and 1983. In April 1974, the town was bypassed by the Pacific Highway with the construction of a 555 metre 15 span bridge as part of a six kilometre deviation.
