A note from the Todd family:


For the 150th anniversary of the Overland Telegraph Line, 100 people were hosted in the VIP marquee.  Most of these people were descendants of Sir Charles Todd who built the overland telegraph line from Port Augusta to Darwin and whom the Todd River is named after. 

Mark Todd, who is a direct descendant commented on the event:


"I would like to extend the Todd family’s sincere gratitude to you and the Henley on Todd organising team for providing such an amazing opportunity for the Todd family and our guests at the Henley on Todd in 2022. We have received incredibly positive feedback from all who attended. It was a truly unique opportunity to witness and participate in such an iconic event in the heart of Australia and we cannot thank you enough. Every guest had the opportunity to participate in both team and individual events as they pleased, while simultaneously enjoying a convivial and welcoming atmosphere. A special thanks to the organisers for arranging a tailored event just for us. The race to erect a telegraph line entirely matched our strategic aims of the weekend and was great fun – a real tribute to the organisers for being able to provide such an event right in the middle of a busy race calendar! A once-in-lifetime opportunity enjoyed by all."
