Eucla is the first settlement encountered in Western Australia when crossing the Nullarbor and
the last when travelling east into South Australia.
Eucla is a great stopping point between Norseman and Ceduna for travellers and trucks along the Eyre Highway. It has a hotel and restaurant, a golf club (7 km to the north), a museum dedicated to the Old Telegraph Station, and a meteorological station. These together with fishing are the locality's major activities.
There is a Travellers Cross that (despite its name) commemorates deceased local people
The Eucla Motor Motel
is situated along the Nullarbor Plain some 12 kilometres to the WA/SA border and beautifully positioned on the top of an escarpment with distant ocean views.
Have a look at the Eucla Museum near the restaurant with its historical exhibits showing what life was like in the area in the olden days. Take the road down the hill to The Old Telegraph Station ruins and walk through the sand dunes or 4WD to the spectacular coastal beach with its jetty ruins.
The Eucla Motor Motel has a delightful restaurant, with take away food also available. The accommodation ranges from budget share facility rooms to standard and deluxe studio motel rooms.
A caravan park with camping facilities is also located adjacent to the motel.

If you are planning to undertake this trip YOU MUST SEEK OUT other authorative advice and information.
Travelling across Australia is a very exciting adventure, you will see things and visit places that have their own unique attractions and risks.
For example when playing on the sand dunes at Fowlers Bay or at various other sand dune spots, understand the risks involved, how the dunes move over night, understand sand avalanches can occur...also check out the other side of the crest ridge before sandboarding so you dont end up in a situation you cannot get out of...
Understand where and how to seek assistance if you get into difficulty, understand assistance may be hours away.
When visiting Bunda Cliffs... DO NOT get to close too the top edge of the Cliff Face as the ledge might crumble and fall 200 feet down,
understand your limitations when visiting caves and the dangers posed and do not enter unless you have a permit or know what you are doing
for example the risks involved when climbing down and getting in/out of the Cave system
Outback travel can be a very exciting journey but it also can be very hazardous especially off road and in remote and isolated areas.
When going 'Off Road' and 'Remote' from the main National 1 Highway your trip should only be undertaken after
lengthy and careful planning, plus having plenty of water, fuel, food, working communication devices etc and people know where you are going.
Understand the distances between fuel stops by ringing ahead and checking with the roadhouses, cattle stations and visitor centres - that what you want is at the next stop.
NEVER ASSUME!
Understand the weather patterns and the various seasons Australia has...and take clothing that suits the climate and conditions at the time of your trip,
understand your vehicle and its capabilities and how to repair it plus have spare tyres (Min 2 extra)
