澳大利亚新南威尔士州纳罗马镇的一部公用电话因在2020年黑色夏季山火灾难期间发挥关键作用，已被列入澳大利亚国民信托组织新南威尔士州名册，并获得铜牌认证1。这部位于纳罗马广场、王子公路旁的电话在停电和移动信号中断期间接听了近1000通电话，成为当地民众与家人朋友联系的生命线1。历史学家娜奥米·帕里·邓肯主导了向澳大利亚国民信托组织的提名，她本人于2020年1月1日在纳罗马度假期间亲历了这场灾难1。
这部公用电话的重要性在于其持续的应急作用。尽管澳大利亚共有14,000部公用电话由Telstra公司维护1，但在山火肆虐导致基础设施瘫痪的关键时期，纳罗马的这部电话为失去通讯手段的社区提供了至关重要的连接1。自2021年中期以来，澳大利亚全国已实现本地和国家电话及手机通话免费1，而公用电话系统在过去一年内继续接听2500万通电话，其中包括30万通拨打三位数紧急号码和危机支持热线的通话1。
A public telephone in the small New South Wales town of Narooma has been added to the national cultural heritage registry for its critical role during Australia's devastating Black Summer bushfires.1 Located in Narooma Square on Princes Highway, the telephone fielded approximately 1,000 calls over two months spanning the New Year period of 2020 and the subsequent fire disaster, serving as a vital lifeline for residents when power outages and mobile network failures left them unable to reach family and friends.1
The recognition came through a nomination led by historian Naomi Parry Duncan, who was holidaying in Narooma on January 1, 2020, and witnessed the phone's essential role firsthand.1 The telephone has since received bronze certification from the Australian National Trust.1 Australia maintains approximately 14,000 public telephones managed by Telstra.1 In the past year alone, public telephones across the country have received 25 million calls, with 300,000 of those connecting callers to three-digit emergency numbers and crisis support hotlines.1
