Musgrave

Musgrave is a small township in Queensland, Australia. It is within the locality of Yarraden in the local government authority of the Shire of Cook. It bordered on the tribal lands of the Yetteneru to the east.  Musgrave has a number of heritage-listed sites, including the former Musgrave Telegraph Station (now known as the Musgrave Roadhouse) which is located along the Peninsula Developmental Road.  Completed in 1886, the former Musgrave Telegraph Station is an important remnant of the infrastructure that supported the overland Cape York Telegraph Line connecting Brisbane with the northern extremities of the colony of Queensland during the mid to late 1880s.
