Honorata passing a relic from the Overland Telegraph Line's past

As its name implies, the OTL was forged through the bush of Cape York in the days of yore, when Aussie blokes were tough and so big they blotted out the sun, in order for long-distance communication to be possible in this remote region. On my return south I found that the OTL still functions quite well as a communication line, with the odd northbound 4WD stopping to pass on messages to me sent by our friends Darren and Nicola a couple of hundred km further south on the peninsula.
