Eucla

Sitting on the edge of the Nullarbor Plain just 9km from the South Australian border is Eucla, a captivating destination filled with coastal landscapes and history. Explored by Edward John Eyre in 1841, Eucla gained significance in the 19th century as a telegraph station connecting Western Australia to the rest of the country. Its isolation made it a challenging but essential link in communication across the vast Australian continent.

Today, Eucla is a small community, primarily serving travellers along the Eyre Highway. It stands as a testament to the resilience of those who once braved the harsh Australian outback, and a reminder of the importance of remote outposts in connecting distant communities.

When in Eucla explore the remains of the Eucla Telegraph Station, a historic relic of the telegraph line that once connected Western Australia to the rest of the world, which is slowly disappearing under the ever-encroaching white sand dunes.

The Eucla Jetty also holds and natural beauty. Due to the shifting sands and erosive forces of the Southern Ocean, the jetty is now a picturesque relic, partially submerged and weathered by time.

Adjacent to the jetty lies a stretch of stunning beaches that showcase the raw and rugged beauty of the Australian coastline. These beaches are characterized by their pristine white sands and crystal-clear waters, providing a serene setting for relaxation and recreation. From the months of May to October the Southern Right Whales arrive to give birth and socialise which can sometime be seen from Eucla.
