T is for Tweets: Telex tweets from The Telegraph, Beechworth


If this was 2015 on the 11 November, a tweet would have read, #nedkelly, "Ned Kelly executed at Melbourne Jail, Saturday at 10.04", instead a telex was sent from The Telegraph in 1890.

Everything has changed but nothing has changed.

This chalkboard in Beechworth was fascinating, telex's about the amount of gold received at Melbourne in 1859, a temperature low of -10 degrees on the 10 August 1872 and the Cornish Miner who fell down a 250 ft shaft and survived, #nobrokenbones!
