Telephone Timeline Hunt

Join the fun at Mandurah Museum with the Telephone Timeline Hunt, a family-friendly challenge discovering the history of the telephone.

As you explore the galleries, follow your activity sheet to uncover clues, discover key dates in communication history, and reveal a secret word. 

Complete the hunt during your visit to enter the prize draw for a LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Retro Telephone Set.

Plus, experience the engaging exhibition From Morse to Mobile: Celebrating 175 Years of the Telephone which follows the evolution of communication—from early telegraph technology to the mobile era—featuring fascinating artefacts, local stories, and voices from Mandurah’s own telecommunications history.
