So, words from a language spoken by a few thousands people (at most), that never had a written form before modern transcriptions, written in a form that few people can decipher.

The first telegraph pole was installed near the Perth jetty by Colonial Secretary, the Honorable Fred Barlee, in 1869, and a 12-mile wire extended to Fremantle. The first telegram was sent on 21 June 1869. The text of the first telegram read:
"To the chairman of the Fremantle Town Trust. His Excellency Colonel Bruce heartily congratulates the inhabitants of fremantle on the annihilation of distance between the Port and the Capital and he requests that this the first message may be publicly known.
Government House 21st June 1869."
